- A Reservoir of Infinite Power
is something that has never happened in one's past and hence is a unique experience hitherto unknown. Every state of such experience, a soul rises seeking succour or shelter of the unchanging and permanent nature of the soul. These states successively become pure and ultimately the purest state manifests as in Moksha, which remains the same for infinite times to come.

The power of the soul is such that every moment, there will be an existence of some form or state. If so, then the argument of present state being caused by other states does not hold good. Further, except for the present state, all other states or forms are absent in the present state. If the present state does not exist, then the substance ceases to exist and if the previous/further states are not absent in the present state, previous ignorance can never go and in the present state, future state of omniscience will not take place. However, such inconsistencies do not take place in the soul. Therefore, while turning inward, do not bother about the previous or future states but the present state should view the whole substance (pure and complete soul). Substances and its properties are eternally there and its present state is also true. But the future states of Moksha' and past states of ignorance are absent in the present truth.

Hence, one ought to stop worrying about what has been done and what will happen but turn inward towards the pure soul. Every form or state of a soul is independent. If one accepts the true
