Transitory Eternity

When we look at things from the perspective of abhed, then modes disappear and everything is substance. Then our world will be very small. Expanse will be nullified. If we look at differences then substance disappears and what remains are the modes. Our world becomes very expansive. Differences will swallow up the similarity. There will be only expansion and more expansion. As far as transformation is concerned both soul and matter have to undergo transformation but the expression pudgal has found in this world, nothing else has. The protean capacity to change which pudgal has, nothing else has. If there is any fundamental substance for the manifested form of modes it is pudgal.
Doors are closed, windows are closed, lights are also put off, so the room is dark. If you desire light, open the doors of your mind. Open the window also and open the third eye also.
Then the room will not be dark.
Let us not think of changing only the system.
If the driver is not good, what is the use of changing only the car ?
