RELATION BETWEEN ACTIONS AND THEIR RESULTS.

cerned,-such Recognition being due to the common Cogniser. When however there is difference of both,-i.e. when the cognisers as well as the cognised things in the two cases are different, there would be no basis for the Recognition.-Then again, if there were no single cogniser correlating the two cognitions,-then how could there be such phenomenon as that when one sees the colour of the citron-fruit, he remembers the taste concomitant with that colour and evinces a desire for experiencing that tasto and undertakes activity towards securing it? Certainly no one could have a longing, etc. for what has been seen by another person.-494-495)
The following Text proceeds to show that 'Bondage' and 'Liberation' also would not be possible (under the doctrine of Perpetual Flux):
TEXT (496)
"WEAT is bound UP WITH CHAINS OF ATTACHMENT, ETC. IN THE PersonHOUSE OF THE WORLD IS ONE MOMENT', WHILE THE MOMENT'
THAT IS liberated IS ANOTHER, WHO HAS NOT BEEN IN
BONDAGH THIS IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE." -(496)
COMMENTARY.
One 'Moment' is bound up with Attachment while another is liberated, --this is incomprehensible; i.e. impossible.
Bhau' is world, Cycle of Birth and Rebirth, which is the prison - house', the place where persons are kept in bondage.—(496)
The following Teact proceeds to show that any attempt at Liberation would be useless, -as no Liberation can be possible :
TEXT (497).
"FOR THE BOUND (IMPRISONED) PERSON, LIBERATION CAN NEVER BE POSSIBLE ; BECAUSE (ex: hypothesi), HE IS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED. HENCE ALL THE EFFORT PUT FORTH BY PERSONS
SEEKING FOR LIBERATION IS FUTILE."—(497)
COMMENTARY,
It might be argued that-there would be Liberation for one who has not been in bondage ;-where is the incongruity in that!
The answer to this is provided in the following
