________________ 12 Towards Universal Happiness These three are the innate changes that are constantly taking place in all substances in the Universe and yet the basic Universe remains the same; only the form changes. Thus, the pure soul has eternal relevance in the Universe as this is also governed by the three changes. 16. Causality – Changes in the soul are not caused by other substances and has its own causal process. It is futile for anyone to search external means to achieve salvation as it leads to enslavement of a soul and continuous mundane existence. The trio-the means, the process and the end constitute the indivisible whole and hence cannot be different. 17. Change of Perception - The path to Moksha lies in change of attitude/perception. The moment one perceives oneself as the pure self, the journey to Moksha begins and when the same perception is pursued relentlessly, one achieves Moksha. The key to Moksha lies in knowledge, i.e., knowing the self. The word 'right' refers to the eternal nature of the soul, as distinguished from the temporary/transient forms or manifestations. 18. Adaptability to Vision - Complex biological processes/systems survive through adaptability. Adaptability is possible if one can evolve quickly and look-ahead. If one realises this look-ahead capability of pure soul to liberate and achieve Moksha, the principles narrated in this book facilitate adaptation and transformation. The soul can steer as it has the potential/capability to achieve liberation, but only if it has a clear vision of where it wants to go and what it has to do. 19. Eternal is Secular - What is secular must be eternal and what is eternal must be secular. Greater
