Though there is no origination or destruction by external causes in the liberated soul, there is origination and destruction by internal causes. Internal causes are described thus by the authority of the Scripture: Each substance (dravya) has this attribute called the 'agurulaghuguna'. Due to this attribute, the substance undergoes six different steps of infinitesimal changes of rhythmic fall and rise 'satgunahānivrddhi'. (see explanatory note, verse 28, p. 59, ante). This wavelike process is a common and natural feature of all substances, found in the atom as well as in the mass. Origination and destruction are established by these changes.
Acārya Nemicandra's Dravyasamgraha: णट्ठट्ठकम्मदेहो लोयालोयस्स जाणओ दट्ठा । पुरिसायारो अप्पा सिद्धो ज्झाएह लोयसिहरत्थो ॥५१॥
जिसका अष्टकर्म रूप देह नष्ट हो गया है, लोकाकाश तथा अलोकाकाश का जो जानने-देखने वाला है, पुरुषाकार का धारक है और लोक के शिखर पर विराजमान है, ऐसा जो आत्मा है वह सिद्ध परमेष्ठी है; इसका तुम ध्यान करो।
Meditate on the Soul that is the Siddha', rid of the eight kinds of karmas and the (five kinds of) bodies, knower of the universe (loka) and the non-universe (aloka), having the figure of a man's body, and staying eternally at the summit of the universe.
