( દ્વિતીયnot remain the same soul and that there will be different souls not only in different births but even at different stages of life. But this belief of theirs is not sound; for, in spite of the soul possessing different magnitudes at different times, its oneness is not lost. Consider the case of a serpent. When it spreads its hood, its dimensions increase and when it contracts it, its dimensions decrease; all the same as a serpent, it is not changed. Take the case of a pitcher. Suppose its colour is changed from red to yellow. Then there arises a distiuction namely that this yellow pitcher is distinct from the red one so far as its colour is concerned; all the same as a pitcher - looked at from the stand point of its substance, it is one and the same. When water is changed into ice or steam, there is produced a distinction but all the same the substance (H, (.) has remained unaltered, for, it is present in ice as well as in steam. In short, overy object can be studied from two stand-points (1) the substance and (2) its modifications. As a substance it always retains its oneness - sameness but from the stand-point of its modifications it may be said that it is not the samo - is changed.
“જીવને માત્ર શરીરવ્યાપી માનવામાં, દેહના પરિમાણના ભેદ વડે કરીને જીવના પરિમાણને ભેદ થતાં જીવમાં નાનાત્વ પ્રાપ્ત થશે, એવી શંકા ન કરો; કારણ કે જેમ એક ઘટ રાતો, પીળો એમ જુદા જુદા વર્ણોવાળ બનવા છતાં પણ તે ઘટ વ્યક્તિમાં ફરક પડતો નથી, તેમ આત્માને પરિમાણભેદ થયે છતે પણ આત્માને ભેદ થતો નથી, કેમકે મૂળ વસ્તુનું એકત્વ અને વિશિષ્ટ ભેદ એ બે સાથે રહે તેમાં વાંધો H41. 28
