208 - A Treasure House of Names
563. Unthinkable by commonors (Achintya): The concept of pure soul is subtle and requires an extra-ordinary understanding. It defies all common understanding of events.
564. Self-realisation through Scriptures (Shrutatma): The scriptures constitute the God in words. Through systematic study of scriptures and contemplation, the pure soul can be realised.
565. Knowledge of Universe through Scriptures (Vishtarashava): The knowledge of the universe can only be acquired through scriptures propounded by the Omniscient as it is beyond mundane logic and knowledge.
566. Suppressive Soul (Dantatma): The pure soul is termed as suppressive soul as realisation of eternal life is accompanied by subjugation of transient life of senses.
567. The Lord of Penance (Damatirthesh): The pure soul is called the Lord of Penance in view of absolute need for living its eternal life and not of senses.
568. Yogic Soul (Yogatma): The activities of body, speech and mind completely cease as the yogis always contemplate on the eternal nature of the pure soul.
569. Omnipresent (Jnan Sarvag): The pure soul is said to be present everywhere as it has the knowledge of the entire universe, just as sunrays are present but the Sun is not physically present where rays travel.
570. The Chieftain of the Universe (Pradhan): In all the three - Upper, middle and lower parts of the universe, the pure soul is the chieftain as all have reverence for the same.
571. Soul of the Universe (Atma): The soul is characterised by knowledge and vision. In the absence of soul, no body will know anything about the Universe and hence called as soul of the Universe.
