________________ Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure ** 245 893. No Disgrace from other Substances (Apratisht): No other substance can ever cause any disgrace to pure soul. The existence of pure soul is established by one's own soul and not by others. 894. Self-Consecration (Pratishtit): The real consecration is installation of pure soul within one's consciousness. The installation of the idol is considered to be a sacred act, then the installation of pure soul within is infinitely more honourable and dignified act. 895. Well Poised Nature (Susthir): Once a person realises the nature of pure soul, one is well poised or well established in oneself. 896. Immovable Nature (Sthavar): Salvation means the end of wanderings and having a stable and stationary state. It is in the mundane world that the soul keeps wandering from birth to birth and place to place. 897. Firmness of Pillar (Sthanu): Like firmness of pillar, the pure soul in the state of salvation is firmly placed and is motionless; no wanderings and waverings, occur in that state. 898. Earth-Like Vast Expansion (Prathiyan): The description of pure soul, like the earth is elaborate and voluminous and cannot be captured in a few words in view of intricate and eternal nature. 899. Well-Known Like the Earth (Prathit): The earth is well known to everybody as beings live on the earth. The pure soul is known to all as all dwell in it. 900. Earth-Like Great (Prithu): The earth is great as it is inhabited by all. The pure soul is the greatest and most wonderful substance in the universe and no language or expressions are enough to describe the greatness of pure soul.
