pure soul. The soul's beauty and dignity does not lie in the body or possession of other external objects such as money, clothes, ornaments, houses, etc., as complete involvement and identification with these, leads to mundane existence.
There is a subtle operation of this nature, which is explained in terms of six-fold enhancement and diminution. It is through this six-fold process that the soul perpetuates and reinforces its nature. This subtle nature is known in the state of omniscience but explained here in an elementary level through simple number in terms of six-types of increases and decreases, which happen simultaneously in a single unit of time. i) Infinitesimal portion increase: Amonginfinite properties,
one new form of a property is an infinitesimal portion
increase. ii) Innumerable portion increase: In relation to
innumerable properties, one new form of a property is
an innumerable portion increase. iii) Numerable portion increase: Among some properties,
one new form of a property is a numerable portion
increase. iv) Numerable fold increase: Among numerable properties,
increase of numerable forms is a numerable fold
increase. v) Innumerable fold increase: Increase of innumerable
forms of innumerable properties is an innumerable fold
increase. vi) Infinite fold increase: Increase of infinite forms relating
to infinite properties is an infinite fold increase.
