In Atma and other things, if they are believed as existing at all times (kant Nitya - IT FICK ), or if the Ates and other things are believed as constantly changing at all times (kan And tynner) then Anitya अनित्य) Artha Kriva (that which one has to do) is again not possible.
This needs explanations
- e.g.
Artha Kriva means the work of the thing concerned the pot's work is to contain water, the sheet's work is to cover and so on. If the thing has no work then it is a non-thing (2).
a) To see how Artha Kriya is not possible in an Ekant Nitya thing: A thing is done either sequentially or similtaneously. In both these ways Artha Kriya is not possible in Ekant Nitya. We have already explained earlier that the At
experiences happiness and unhappiness sequentially, and this is the work of the Atma But if the Atma is unchanging at all times (Ekant Nitya) then this is not possible it would have to change its nature to make it possible. Therefore, let us imagine that it does its work simultaneously this again also is not possible, because one can see that actions take place sequentially. Secondly, if all the actions were done at the same time, then for other time no work would remain such a subst
ance then becomes a non thing ( ). Thus in an Ekant Nitya substance one cannot deduce Artha Krivs (its own work) either sequentially or otherwise.
