श्रीमदमृतचन्द्रविरचितः You possess increase and decrease of six types, and yet the cycle of your knowledge attains to sequential modes under control of the quality called "aguru-laghu," (which prevents any real increase in your space-points). And though (you undergo transformations), you are indeed possessed of nonchange (from the point of view of substance), for even when you attain at every moment to production and destruction (of modes), you remain indestructible (as substance) and never even slightly abandon the unified consciousness which is like the mark of a chisel (on stone; i.e. it cannot be wiped away, but persists through all modes). (16) (566)

samam atibharåt tair akrānto bhavāms tu vibhavyate / tad idam ubhayam bhūtartham san mitho na virudhyate
kalayasi sada yad bhāvānām vibho kramam akramåt (17// No existent possesses all its modes simultaneously, (for these modes) must be manifest sequentially in past, present, and future. (But since you are omniscient), you are seen to be completely united with (all) the (sequential) modes of all objects at once. O Omniscient One! There is no mutual contradiction in these two (assertions), for such is the true nature of reality; you always know the sequences of all modes non-sequentially. (17) [567]

And although it is complete with all the forms of the other objects, it remians free from passions) and (thus) is pure (i.e. uncontaminated). It is always manifest in your own self, intensely active (in knowing) through its own innate nature (i.e. without depending on others). (18) (568)
