________________ Sutra 40-41 ] Soul ring and the other relevant karmans. The activity of the soul, which is of the nature of the cognition of an object, is the sense-organ quả conscious activity. There can be organic structure, efficiency and conscious activity only if there is attainment. There can be efficiency and conscious activity only if there is organic structure, and there can be conscious activity only if there is efficiency. (Note) Labdhi is a peculiar term and concept. It is a capacity of the soul which emerges when the obstructive karmic veils are in the state of destruction-cumsubsidence. This is regarded as an organ par excellence, because the cognition of objects takes place only if it is in operation. The soul becomes invested with the capacity for knowing an object on account of the karmic veils being put out of commission. It may be translated literally as attainment of the capacity arising from the inoperative condition of the obscuring karmans. 80.
