58 • A Reservoir of Infinite Power
pure self protects one from external attacks, builds/fortifies a state of existence where feelings of attachment or aversion do not enter into the arena of the self and ensures perfect peace and happiness within. Some say that Karmas are enemies that disturb and steal the peace of the soul. But this is incorrect. Karmic particles are inanimate objects and are distinctly different. These cannot even touch a soul, its properties or forms, then what to talk of its influence? It is possible for a king of this world to be defeated and lose sovereignty but pure self, the supreme King, can never ever lose its sovereignty or humiliated by anyone. The King is respected due to territorial sovereignty, but the pure soul is revered by all living beings in the universe and its supreme form (Moksha) is coveted by the wisest of wise. A King not only protects but also promotes prosperity. Similarly, continuous focus on the pure self promotes gradual unfolding of infinite power of knowledge, vision and supreme bliss.
Transformation takes place when an individual directs his attention continuously on his nature of supreme sovereignty and absolute independence. Absolute sovereignty is of the pure soul, by the pure soul and for the pure soul. That is, absolute sovereignty is an attribute of the pure soul and its reign extends to itself and this is for emancipation of the self.
8. All Pervasiveness (Vibhutva) - In all manifestations of the soul, there is a property of all pervasiveness that ensures oneness of a given manifestation. The soul is all pervasive in its properties and forms and each of the properties like knowledge, etc., are also pervasive in all infinite properties. If one property is not pervading in all the other properties, then same cannot be experienced as indivisible whole and there will be no bliss due to divisibility of properties.
