________________ ( 122 ) of a garment what is in the form of garment is only an earthen jar. If you take the second point, that force is life itself ; then the question arises as to the cause of its invisibility. If you say that it is not visible on account of a cover, it is not right to say so because a cover is another naine for obstruction. Then the question arises whether that obstruction is the non-existence of the proposed change, or is another form of change or is something other than ele. mentals. It is not the non-existence of the proposed change, because it being light it has po force of obstruction. If it is heavy it would become a form of feeling and so apart from earth etc. The Bhutas such as earth etc. serve as manifestations of rhaitanya and are not obstructions. Hence obstructibility is not proved. If you say that it is another form of the change it is also wrong to say so, because it being of the nature of elemental is the manifestator of life like elementals and not its obstruction.
