Since the wave cannot be reversed and since we as individual souls are contained within that wave, there is only one way to escape the continuing creation and that is to merge in the center of the wave, which is the source of the wave, the Supreme Sovereign. The portion of the infinite that achieves Liberation from the forms of creation (realms of Prakrti) (as described in section 102) will not be able to go back to its prior state of ignorance, which is under the coverings of Prakrti (nature), and the individual soul will not come into existence.
