Q.X.7.2
A.X.7.2
Why does the emancipated soul soar upwards due to its being free from bondage? Gourd-vegetable when coated with mud sinks in the water but when the mud layer on it is washed completely, it floats on the water. Similarly an empirical soul keeps on transmigrating as long as it is bonded with karmas. When it gets emancipated i.e. the soul becomes free of k rma dirt, it keeps on soaring upwards only till the summit of cosmos.
Q.X.7.3 A.X.7.3
How does emancipated soul soar upwards, give an example? Like a castor seed when ripe gets cracked and the kernel inside the castor seed pops upwards. Similarly when the emancipated soul leaves the karma body, it soars upwards.
Q.X.7.4
A.X.7.4
Explain the nature of the soul for upward movement through the example of movement of the candle flame in the absence of sideways winds (tath gati)? Like the candle flame in the absence of the sideways movement of the air always goes upwards as its nature, similarly an emancipated soul, in the absence of the k rma bondage (which takes it in sideways direction) soars straight upwards.

A.X.8.2
Why does the emancipated soul not go in the trans-cosmic space (alok k a)? By the very definition of the trans-cosmic space, it is devoid of the existence of the medium of motion. Hence nothing can move or exist in it. This is why the emancipated soul does not go in the trans-cosmic space.
