Facing the predominant absolutism of a certain aspect of reality, Panikkar proposes a radical relativity, a total reciprocity, relationship. As he repeatedly states, however, relativity is not the same as relativism; each part of the whole has its particular value: “The dilemma is not relativism or absolutism, but rather the recognition of the radical relativity of all of Reality” (La Trinidad. Una experiencia humana primordial). This concept, which finds an equivalent in the Buddhist pratītyasamutpāda, must be applied to our human relationship, to our relationship with the world, to the relationship of God with this world, and even to divine reality itself. Panikkar makes this radical relativity, total reciprocity or relationship into something constitutive of all reality, including Divinity itself: “Everything is related to everything”, he affirms, following a maxim of Shivaism. This brings him to the assertion that God is pure relationship: “genitive relationship constitutive of reality”, “the genitive constitutive and engendering of all things” (Ibid).
