Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure * 73
(c)If one can do both – one's own work as well as the work of other substances-then there will not be any order in the universe as any substance can always interfere in the functioning of others and make the soul an inanimate object and an inanimate object a soul. There will be chaos and each substance will destroy one another and the universe will vanish. For example, in a cross-road circle, vehicles come from different roads and directions of their own and independently but while encircling, one gets the impression that one is following the other or one is forcing the other to move. Once a person realises that it is a circle only, he takes his own road for destination. If this is not realised, he will go in circles missing out his destination.
While referring to cause-effect relationship, four types of absences’ are to be noted:
i) In the present form of a substance, there is complete
absence of the previous form. The form exists and
maintains itself by own-self. ii) In the future forms of a substance, the present state is
completely absent. The first and second points relate to intra-work relationship in the same or single substance. The third and fourth points mentioned below refer to inter
substance work relationship. iii) In the present forms of the same type of substances,
there is absence of any work relationship. That is, in the present form of one atom, there is complete absence of cause-effect relationship of the present form of another
atom. iv) One substance is completely absent in another
substance. The no-work and non-causal nature extends to the substances, its infinite properties and forms.
