<p style='text-align:justify;'>The Sanskrit term ‘abhava’ means non-existence. It is one of the seven fundamental entities ([[padartha]]) as per darshana philosophy. A two-fold classification of tattvas viz. existent (sat) and non-existent (asat) is described in [[Ayurveda]]. Abhava is categorized under non-existents. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 11/17] The non-existence is also essential. This article describes the importance of non-existing entities in the process of knowledge.</p>
