Prakruti parinam sansara. Dikshaadi abhav - Prakrutiparinam abhav > Sansara abhav (Moksha)
**Translation:**
**Liberation Inquiry: From Initiation to Nature's Transformation > Samsara, In Its Absence, Liberation**
(659) Initiation, etc... »
The result of nature is samsara. The absence of initiation, etc. - the absence of the result of nature > the absence of samsara (liberation)
**Verse 201:**
"Otherwise, this would be eternal, and this is called 'bhaava'. If bhaava is eternal, how is liberation possible?"
**Meaning:**
If the transformation of the primordial principles (praadhanaadi) is eternal, and this transformation is called 'bhaava', and if bhaava is eternal, how can liberation be possible?
**Commentary:**
If we do not accept that the transformation of the primordial principles is caused by initiation, etc., then this transformation would be eternal. This transformation is called 'bhaava' and is known as 'samsara' because it involves the existence of the primordial principles, their nature, and their attributes like mahat. Since the transformation of the primordial principles is eternal, bhaava would also be eternal, and liberation would be impossible.
In the previous verse, it was stated that the transformation of the primordial principles is caused by initiation, devotional feelings, etc., and that in their absence, this transformation does not occur. However, if we do not accept this, then the transformation of the primordial principles would be eternal. This is because anything that has a cause is contingent, meaning it may or may not occur. But anything that is without a cause is either always present or always absent. This is a rule. Therefore, if initiation, etc., are not the cause, then the transformation of the primordial principles would occur naturally and eternally. It would never stop or cease, and liberation would never be possible.
Therefore, it is appropriate to accept that if we do not accept the view that the transformation of the primordial principles is caused by initiation, etc., then this transformation would be eternal. This transformation is called 'bhaava' and is known as 'samsara'. Since this transformation is eternal, it would involve the existence of the primordial principles, their nature, and their attributes like mahat. Therefore, if bhaava is eternal, liberation would be impossible.
