________________
Existence of the present state at this moment is due to the power of existence (Bhava Shakti).
Absence of states other than the present one at this moment is due to the power of non-existence (Abhava Shakti).
The present form shall cease to exist in the next moment due to the power of the non-existence of the existing (Bhava-Abhava Shakti)
A new form (which is not existing at present) of the soul will appear in the next moment due to the power of existence of the non-existing (AbhavaBhava Shakti)
At a given instant, the soul assumes only that form which can occur as per definite rules. This is due to the power of existence of exist-able (BhavaBhava Shakti)
At a given instant, the soul cannot have the form which cannot occur as per definite rules. This is due to the power of non-existence of non-exist-able (Abhava-Abhava Shakti).
All changes take place in the soul due to substance of soul only; no other substance has a role in these changes. The change in the form of soul follows the rule of karma and such changes are un-avoidable and nothing can stop it.
39-40 Power of Self-Existence (Bhava) and Power of Action (Kriya) (Bhava Shakti and Kriya Shakti)
The power of self-existence (bhava) refers to the ability of soul of existing in the self without external interference. It may be noted that bhava shakti described at serial number 33 refers to the existence of the states of the soul whereas bhava shakti here refers to the existence of the soul itself. The power of action (kriya) refers to the power responsible for (the activity of) creation of pure states of the soul.
In next six types of powers we shall see the six ways in which the soul affects such creations. We shall see that the pure states are created by the soul (Karta Karak) to the soul (Karm Karak) by the soul (Karan Karak) for the soul (Sampradan Karak) from the soul (Apadan Karak) and in the soul (Adhikaran Karak). The six act-related factors, Karaks, referred to here are defined as follows:
One who performs the act is Karta The process of the act is Karm The means of doing the act is Karan Beneficiary of act is Sampradaan
