25. Self - Pervading (Swadharm-Vyapak): Notwithstanding many incarnations, the soul
has never permeated to bodies or body characteristics; it permeates its own properties
and forms. 26. Common, Uncommon and Common-Uncommon (Sadharan, Asadharan and
Sadharan-Asadharan): While there are certain properties of soul which are common to other substances, there are also certain unique properties of soul. Further, there are certain properties which are common to some substances and uncommon to other
substances. 27. Infinite Nature (Anantadharm): There are infinite properties of the soul. They have
different characteristics but nevertheless constitute only one indivisible whole. The
pure soul is adorned by such type of nature. 28. Conflicting Characteristics (Viruddadharma): Not only that the soul has infinite
characteristics, it has qualities which may look hostile in nature though there are no
real conflicts. Properties from 29 to 38 fall under such a category. 29. Power of Elemental Transformation (Tatva): When soul transforms, it assumes its
own real nature. This is its fundamental nature. 30. Absence of Transmutability (Atatva): The soul does not assume any property or form
which is unreal, i.e., does not belong to it or does not exist in its nature. 31. Oneness (Ekatva): The soul has many forms and properties but oneness of the soul
permeates in all its forms and properties. 32. Manifoldness (Anekatava): All the forms of soul are permeated by the same one soul.
While the substance is one, many forms are caused by own self. It does not permeate
only one exclusive form or state. 33. Existence of Current State (Bhava): In the pure self, there always exists a current
form which will also be pure. It is not caused by any external substance. 34. Non-existence other States (Abhava): In the current form of the pure self, past forms
are absent and so also the forms or properties of other substances.. 35. Disappearance of Current State (Bhava-Abhava): Whatever be the current form of the
self, it disappears or becomes extinct by rule in the next form or moment. 36. Emergence of New State (Abhav-bhava): The new (future) form that emerges never
existed before. Although there is absence of state of Moksha today, it can emerge
tomorrow. 37. Existence of Pure-Pure Nature (Bhava-Bhava): Whatever be the current form of the
pure soul, it will always be continuously present in future. Although the same form (state of the soul) will not be there in future, it will be a different one but will be of
the same type. 38. Absence of Impure-Impure Nature (Abhav-abhava): Impure bhavas or perversions
are absent in the current form of the pure-self. These will be absent in future as well. 39. Self - induced Causation (Bhav): The soul induces its own causation and
changes/transforms/performs according to its own nature.
Properties given below (40 to 47) rule out any influence of external factors and state the self is completely independent and master of its own.
40. Infinite Power of Re-engineering (Kriya): The pure-self has its own causal
mechanism to ensure achievement of Moksha by re-engineering oneself to the true and eternal nature and without the help of other substances.
