beyond the senses. Its knowledge power works on its
own and is automatic. b. The pure soul is not even the direct subject matter of
senses and does not depend on the senses. c. The pure soul cannot be visualised/conjectured based
on certain symbols or senses/precursors, like one can guess/conjecture/visualise the existence of fire after
noticing smoke. d. The pure soul cannot be subjected to any guess/
estimate/sense perception. However, partial realisation of the pure soul can help in the further visualisation just as a sample can be used to know/guess about the
larger quantity/quality. e. There is no such property in the pure soul that it can
conjecture about anything. Through the realisation of
the self, it knows both the self and other objects. f. The pure soul knows everything directly because that is
its nature. In the present state of existence as a human being, although knowledge seems to be working indirectly through senses but it is direct in terms of its
nature. g. The knowledge of the soul does not depend on the
external objects or symbols i.e., the soul does not know by directing or focussing its attention on external
objects. h. The knowledge of the soul is not acquired or brought
from external objects. It comes from within. i. None can eliminate the knowledge of the soul. No
external adversities can facilitate transfer/elimination of the soul's knowledge.
The soul's own focus is on its pure nature, it does not have any impurity.
