MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN everything that exists is permanent, ingenerated, indestructible and unchanging. His argument refutes all accounts of the origin of the world, and represents an early type of Monism. Heraclitus of Ephesus (535 – 475 BCE) Heraclitus considers the unity as Change, symbolized by fire (in that everything is in constant flux). Democritus (460-370 BC) "Democritus proposed the concept of atom to describe the ultimate indivisible, indestructible particles that composed the substance of all things. Lucretius (95-55 BC) wrote De rerum natura inspired in the ideas of Democritus and Epicurus." Zeno of Citium 334 - 262 BC Stoics 86

The One or the Good, owing to its simplicity, is indescribable directly. We can only grasp it indirectly by deducing what it is not (see V 3. 14; VI 8; VI 9. 3).
