Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure ** 147
radiance, for all times. The intensity of radiance does not vary and is constant throughout. This brilliance manifests in infinite ways at a time and continues in the same fashion forever. Nothing can be compared with the radiance/ brilliance of pure soul. The pure soul is, in fact, an ocean of splendour, glory and brilliance. It is the grand thing in the universe and none can match the magnificence of the pure soul. Attainment of liberation is the best abode for the soul, the abode of blissful existence with complete engrossment in the self. Life of a pure soul is the best life in the universe. Other paths do not ensure salvation and lead to perpetual existence of misery in deaths and births. No one needs to doubt that the state of Moksha is the highest position a soul can achieve and that one who achieves this position is supreme in the universe. It is so because all infinite powers of the soul manifest perfectly and fully in this state alone and no soul enjoys eternal and infinite happiness except one who achieves this position and hence is the supreme being in the universe.
23. First, Last & Only One - A secular concept has to be the first concept and other concepts should follow; otherwise, there will be confusion as to what is first. If the last concept is different from the first one, the last concept either assumes great significance or has no significance. Between the first and the last, if there are other significant concepts, then the first and last lose their importance. Therefore, a secular concept has to be one and one only, and the same has to be the first and last. In other words, there cannot be any conflicts or inconsistencies between the concepts and has to be the same throughout. The concept of pure soul can only meet this highest standard of truth
