## Suttatattvamimamsa: Vastusvabhavasara: Ekanta Anitya Adi Paksha Ayukt (663)
If one does not accept the principle of **Suttatattvamimamsa**, which states that the nature of reality is **Vastusvabhavasara** (the essence of things), then it will be proven that it is always false. Thus, either the object will be proven to be eternally existent in its own form, or it will be proven to be eternally non-existent. Therefore, **Kshanikavada** (the theory of momentariness) cannot stand for even a moment.
(2) Now, if the **Kshanikavadi** argues that "what exists in the previous moment does not exist in the present moment," it is contradictory, like saying "it is otherwise." Because if the object becomes something else, then how can it be "it"? And if it is "it," then how can it become "otherwise" - something else? They argue this way. The same logic applies to their statement: "How can it be 'it' if it does not exist?" And if it does not exist, then how can it be "it"? This leads to a contradiction.
(3) Similarly, there are flaws like the origin of non-existence, etc. Because if one believes in the existence of both existence and non-existence, then non-existence will be produced, i.e., the origin of non-existence will occur. And according to the rule that whatever is produced must also be destroyed, this non-existence will also be destroyed. Therefore, the destroyed object will be reborn in its own form. In other words, the object will be proven to be eternally existent. And if the object is considered eternally perishable, then it will not exist even in the desired moment, i.e., it will be proven to be eternally non-existent.
(4) Now, if you say that it is perishable and has the characteristic of existing in a moment, then even in other moments, it will exist, and this moment-existence will remain. Therefore, what was said will also happen. Because when it exists in a moment, it does not cease to exist, and even after that, it does not cease to exist. In other words, it always exists. Thus, everything that was said about the non-existence of existence, etc., is true. In other words, **Ekanta Anitya Paksha** (the theory of absolute impermanence) - **Kshanikavada** - cannot stand in any way. In other words, the object is not eternally non-existent.
Similarly, **Ekanta Nitya Paksha** (the theory of absolute permanence) cannot stand in any way either. Because (1) the **Nitya Vadi** (the proponent of eternalism) says that what is unchangeable, unproduced, stable, and uniform is true, i.e., the object is eternally uniform. Therefore, the world is real, and its cessation will never occur, i.e., the world will always remain, and the state of liberation will never be produced. Because there is only one nature, and that state always exists. Therefore, to say that there are states of worldly existence and liberation is merely a matter of words. Therefore, it is desirable to consider the transformation from one nature to another as a matter of essence. In other words, only if one nature displaces another and takes its place can the states of worldly existence and liberation occur, otherwise not.
(2) **Diksha** (initiation), **Bhavamala** (the stream of karma), etc., are the essential and primary things of the soul, and they are inherent in the soul. And they are the cause of the transformation of **Diksha** and other primary things. Without them, the transformation of primary things would not occur. In other words, as long as the cause of **Diksha**, etc., remains, the transformation of nature, etc., continues to occur. And when that cause is obtained, the transformation of primary things does not occur. If one does not accept the cause of **Diksha**, etc., then this transformation of primary things, which is without a cause, will always continue to occur. This transformation of primary things...
