________________ Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure * 189 blossom into the state of omniscience. Thus knowledge of pure soul is the causative factor for emancipation. 400. Only Great Grandfather (Bhuvanaikapitamah): Only the pure soul/Omniscient teaches the world the essence of Moksha and spiritual upliftment. All other teachers only pass on the same message from ages to ages. Hence, the pure soul is the only great grandfather for all souls. 401. Tree God / Welfare Tree (Shrivrikshalakshan): The pure soul is symbolised by the tree. A tree or its seed has capacity to produce infinite trees. The pure soul with its infinite forms and properties is symbolised by the tree. 402. Symbol of Subtlety / Fineness (Shlakshan): The pure soul is so subtle and fine that it is difficult to observe through naked eyes or microscope. It is abstract in nature, not amenable to easy description and hence expressed through symbols. 403. Symptomatic (Lakshanya): Being a subtle object, pure soul is described through symptoms for better understanding. Symptoms are explained in figurative sense but by themselves, these are not the attributes. 404. Auspicious Symptoms (Shubhalakshan): The traits used to describe the nature of pure soul are all good and auspicious, indicating good omens. That is, the symptoms are so graceful and elegant that these have the potential to help comprehend the entire universe and the self. 405. Invigilator (Niraksh): Just as an invigilator or inspector is able to understand things, although not happening before his eyes, the pure soul knows the universe without the use of physical eyes. 406. Attractive Lotus-Eye (Pundarikaksha): The pure soul's eyes-vision power-is so attractive and appealing like lotus-eye. It is the inward-looking eye which is most attractive and powerful.
