112 • A Reservoir of Infinite Power
transformation in the soul. If one is wearing a diamond necklace around one's neck, it can be found there only. But if someone does not remember and searches for the necklace in all other places, it can never be found. In the same manner, the soul is a treasure of infinite properties and these can be found there alone. The soul is the self-declared King of the Universe and God himself. One has to realise this appropriately. Similarly, inanimate objects have their own six-fold causation and these are also independent.
In the case of self-induced causation, the six causal factors are indivisible. In order to explain the operation of the nature of pure self, the six-fold causation is given as follows: (a) The infinite power of the soul operates independently
and automatically and hence the pure self assumes the power of extra-ordinary and wonderful performer
(Karta). (b) In view of the above nature of performer, its performance
(Karma) is self-induced and encompasses the power of
the self alone. (c) Nature of soul itself becomes the best and unique
instrument or means to realise the self (Karana). (d) As the above extra-ordinary performance is meant for
itself, the soul itself is the receiver of this performance
(Sampradan). (e) As the operation of infinite power of the pure self
is made possible due to refuge in the timeless and everlasting nature of the self, the soul itself is the donor
of this nature to itself (Apadan). (f) The operation of infinite power of the self occurs within
the self and hence the self itself provides the stage or support (souls space) (Adhikaran).
