The present work is divided, for the sake of convenience into Six parts. The part one deals with the fundamental principles :-Soul and Matter. The second one treats Eternal Vibration, Pudgala and its manifestations. The third one continues to demonstrate the effect of Pudgala on Soul. The fourth one explains Consciousness and Liberation. The fifth one elucidates the problems of transmigration, birth, death, heredity and all kinds of worldly associations of Soul.
