110 - A Reservoir of Infinite Power
The soul exists today, existed in the past and will exist in future-thus the soul is present at all the times. The soul is an embodiment of its nature, palace or treasure of its properties-an infinite treasure indeed and the same exists at all times. Although the soul changes every moment, nothing is added or gets depleted from its own nature, thus remaining pure forever. For example, when a piece of gold is converted into a necklace, the present form of necklace is nothing but the same gold with all its properties intact. Likewise, the soul and its properties assume different forms but its nature remains the same. Every property retains its permanent character although it undergoes change. In case of gold necklace, gold and necklace are not separable although two expressions are used; it refers to only one thing. It implies that the present form of gold is necklace. Similarly, the soul and its modes are inseparable. Soul is indivisible in terms of time, substance, contents and nature. Therefore, if any property or mode is fully understood, the entire soul can be comprehended and realised. The mode is never permanent but the substance and its properties are permanent but no substance can ever be without a mode. Thus, all the three move in tandem only. In view of its indivisible nature, the soul is impregnate and cannot be penetrated by any other matter and retains its own nature forever.
Proper understanding of the pure soul and its pure form constitutes right faith. If one says he knows only the pure soul and does not know or believes in pure form, then one does not know either. Without the pure form, who knows the pure soul? That is, it is only the pure form in which the pure soul is realised. Without the unity or uniformity of the form and the substance, knowledge does not become realistic and reliable. Further, there is absence of impurities,
