Samuyusāru
absolutist philosophy and does not accept the non-absolutist doctrine of the Jains. In particular, Sāmkhya purusa-equivalent to Jain soul-is eternally immutable and inactive. The learned author highlights the weakness of the argument which emphasizes only one aspect of reality exclusively and fail to explain concrete reality of the worldly state of existence.
(d) In verses 10.38 to 10.58, the false beliefs of another absolutist philosophy-Buddhists, are refuted. The author then explains through a simple analogy, the activity of the self, from both aspects. By another analogy, he proves that a substance cannot transfer its attributes to another in reality, though it may appear to do so.
(e) In verses 10.59 to 10.75, the author further discusses some eternal cosmic laws with particular reference to the inability of one substance to produce the attributes in another one, and concludes that infinite spiritual bliss transcends all sensuous pleasures.
(f) In verses 10.76 to 10.100, the nature and function of the pure knowledge is further elaborated, emphasizing that, while pure knowledge is identical to pure consciousness, it is quite different from the object of knowledge. The last few verses are also intended to refute the heretic doctrine that the soul is annamaya and koşumaya.
(g) In verses 10.101 to 10.108, the inadequacy of various types of insignia and body-marks for self-realization is emphasized. In conclusion, the author says that realization of Samayasāra, the purest Super Self, is possible only through the adoption of transcendental aspect.
Relation of Soul & Karma : The Soul is the Sole Determinant of its own Psychic States
