EXISTENCE OF THE SOUL
91. ..“I am the pure soul, conscious, having innume. rable spacial units (in size), non-material, in the nature of the perfect soul and with the differentia of knowledge and perception.". 143.
"I am not the other, nor the other is 'I', neither 'I' belong to another, nor another belongs to me; another is another, I am the 'I', another belongs to another, I belong to me.". 148.
“I never become unconscious, nor unconsciousness becomes 'I', I am full of knowledge, nothing belongs to me, nor I belong to any other.” 150.
“I am always an existing substance, conscious, knower, perceiver, and also unattached, I have the size of the body I reside in, even then free from the body, and non-material like the sky.” 153.
“This universe neither loves nor hates me, nor is attached to me; I neither love nor hate it, but myself remain unattached to it.” 157.
