________________ Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure * 217 647. Devoid of Sins (Anagh): The term “pure” refers to absence of all sins. Not to know oneself is the greatest sin. Once the self is realised, there will be no sins. 648. Welfare Orientation (Kshemi): One's ultimate welfare lies in realisation of the self. The concept of welfare of beings in the mundane world is highly transient and does not prevent misery of births and deaths. 649. Father of Welfare (Kshemankar): The ultimate welfare is ensured when one attains salvation. The pure soul is the father of eternal welfare. 650. Without Decadence (Akshayya): The human body and bodies of other beings are subject to decay. Once the perfect knowledge is attained, there is no decay of knowledge and the pure soul remains the same. 651. Lord of Dharma Welfare (Kshemadharmapati): The inspiration of pure soul eternally guides all beings to attain the highest state of welfare and hence eternal Lord of welfare of all. 652. The Greatest Forgiver (Kshami): All worldly events are pardonable as these are of no consequence in the life of pure soul and hence called as the greatest forgiver. 653. Incomprehensible (Agrahya): One has to acquire complete knowledge of the pure soul and realise the same, otherwise it remains incomprehensible with partial knowledge. 654.Realisable Through Right Knowledge (Jnananigrahya): One who acquires right knowledge through the preaching of Omniscients and the scriptures, definitely comprehends the pure soul. 655. Comprehension Through Meditation (Dhyanagamya): Only when one constantly meditates on the nature of pure soul, it is realised but not simply by ideas/imaginations.
