Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure • 49
place in a number of ways. Seeing through eyes, not having eyes, states of sleeping and slumber are just a few examples of obstructions. The manifestation of this property of vision is independent of body and senses such as eyes, etc., or external objects. The presence of these senses in external objects is not instrumental in the operation of the vision property. It is a self-propelling property of the pure soul. The power of vision of the pure soul is timeless and eternal. The transformation of soul takes place when a seeker contemplates on this eternal power of vision.
It is really an amazing property where the pure self views/sees the entire universe with infinite souls, infinite space and all material objects-in their infinite forms and time dimensions, without any external assistance and without loss of any time in its entirety (whole or without divisibility). Such seeing continues ad infinitum for those who have achieved liberation.
4. Knowledge (Jnana) - The power of knowledge, which exists simultaneously with the power of vision in the soul, discriminates between self and other objects, living and non-living objects, the whole of the matter and its different forms and properties, each form with its indivisible constituents and each property with its infinite forms are all simultaneously and separately known. Thus, the power of knowledge is something unbelievable. Such knowledge is distinctly different from the knowledge acquired through senses such as touch, taste, smell, seeing and hearing, or through mind and intellect.
The pure soul is an ocean of knowledge. When the focus of the self is directed towards oneself, the soul knows its eternal and timeless existence, its infinite properties and infinite forms and experiences waves of infinite happiness.
