The Organ of Knowledge
the qualities of existence etc. then there is order, because one word cannot have the power of conveying many meanings. When those very aspects are spoken of as identical by means of times etc. and then by making one aspect expressed even by one word, the expression of the whole of the object becomes possible which assumes identity with it and this is simultaneity.
*65. What are these time etc. ? We explain; they are time, form, object, relationship, effect, an aspect, an aspect of the object, contact and word. Now, when we say that from a particular point of view the objects soul etc. do exist, then we identify by time taking that all other infinite qualities in the object are there in the same time in which there is existence. And whatever is the innate nature of the existence of its own, similar is the innate nature of other infinite qualities of their own, and, therefore, they are identified with it on account of the fact of innate nature; and whatever object is the substratum, viz. the matter, of the existence that is also the substratum of other modes and, thus, there is identity with reference to the object. and whatever relationship of all pervasiveness is of existence, the same is the relationship of the others also, and, thus, there is identity from the point of view of relationship. And whatever effect has existence in sustaining object in its own form, similar is the effect of the other aspects, and, thus there is identity from the point of effect. And whatever is the place of the qualified object, viz. the territory of the existence, the same is that of other aspects, and, thus there is identity from the point of view of the territory of the qualified object. And whatever contact is of existence with the soul as being one with it, similar is that of other aspects and, thus, there is identity from the point of view of contact. In relationship, the difference is subordinate and the identity is predominant, whereas in contact, the order changes and this is the difference between the two. The word 'is', which is indicative of the quality of existence, is also indicative of all other infinite qualities, and, thus there is identity through word which is justified by giving a secondary place to the point of view of the mode and by giving predominance to the point of the matter. The identity
