soul and independent feeling. Thus every soul is free for purification
of soul.
Science of Differentiation
I am a pure soul, body is resting, sleeping is the nature of body, and laziness is the nature of body. I (soul) have no sleep, no laziness; I am pure soul, only knower and perceiver. With this feeling we can save ourselves from bondage of karma. Otherwise, there will be bondage of karma whole night. Likewise after getting up in the morning you will observe that there was laziness, non- vigilance in body. I (soul) was vigilant whole night. This is the absolute practice science of differentiation where there is no bondage but liberation.
Nature of So'ham
Soi.e. That Venerable Liberated.
Aham i.e. I am pure soul. Both are same.
Soi.e. Those souls of hell and general body plants or micro-organism and Ahami.e. I am same regarding the purity of soul.
So i.e. All those souls of animal and plant kingdoms and I pure soul are the same.
So i.e. Those deities of twenty six heavens and I (soul) are the
same.
So i.e. Those enlightened, liberated, Acarya, Upadhyāya, monks and I (soul) are the same.
The souls, roaming in six directions and I (soul) are the same.
In this way, there is maximum cessation of karma by meditation on So'aham. This is the path of all detached.
