102 A Reservoir of Infinite Power
the nature of the soul as these vanish and do not exist in the state of Moksha. These opposite qualities are non-existent in all times, in all souls and in all modes. It is a part of the permanent nature of the soul.
29-30. Power of Elemental Transformation and Absence of Transmutability (Tattva-Atattva) - The soul is a living substance and characterised by consciousness. It never transgresses its elemental nature and acquires properties or behaviour of other substances. The soul possesses both these properties all the time.
This is explained through its nature of substance, properties and pure forms. When a soul transforms, the changes are within its fundamental or elemental nature although it retains its essential nature. To probe this nature, one has to turn towards the elemental inner side of the soul. To have faith in this nature of the soul is right faith, to acquire knowledge of the properties of such a soul is right knowledge and to get engrossed in the world of the soul is right conduct. Transformation of the soul to its all-knowing and all-seeing, blissful nature is the objective of all those interested in the path to Moksha. How can such a supreme substance have transmutations. It can never transgress its nature and behave like other substances. It is invulnerable and impregnable by other substances. Impurities never enter it. Its doors are closed for the entry of feelings of anger, greed, attachment, revulsion, possession of other substances. Never ever for a moment, this transmutation is possible. Impurities or distorted feelings are the products of ignorance about the nature of the soul and human temptation to succumb to the transient feelings, thus creating an unrealistic world around them and suffering incessantly due to false beliefs.
In the process of transmigration, one has achieved, in the past, enormous success in acquiring wealth, knowledge
