________________ 92 * A Reservoir of Infinite Power stages, tremors remain but when one recognises the eternal nature of soul to be untremulous, the path to Moksha begins and hence so much emphasis in knowing these properties. In recognition of unquivering nature, there is implied recognition of other co-existing properties such as faith, knowledge, bliss, sovereignty, etc. After taking shelter in such a nature of the soul, there is stability in the contemplation of the soul. After attainment of the omniscient stage, there may be vibrations for millions of years but these do not disturb one's knowledge and bliss. However, in the state of omniscience, there is a realisation of untremulous nature of the soul although vibrations are taking place and it is known that untremulous nature will emerge in the state of Moksha. Tremor is not the fundamental nature of the soul and occurrence of vibrations in various forms in the worldly life is not due to external objects but by the nature of such modes of the soul. Just as an idol is stable without vibrations/ movements, the soul's nature is motionless. The ocean is full of waves in the middle but on the seashores one can find filth/dirt along with the waves. One who knows the shores only does not know the sea. It is the nature of the sea to drive away filth outside towards shores. Similarly, the soul is an ocean of tranquility, knowledge and consciousness and it drives away dirt from itself. One should contemplate on the ocean of tranquility to realise the soul and not look at dirt on the shores. 24. Invariable Territory (Niyatpradeshatva) - The soul has invariable innumerable units of space which eternally remain the same, neither a unit increases or decreases. Whatever may be the form of a body-an ant, elephant, human or dinosaur, the number of units of space remain
