Pupil's Enlightenment
sense, unimpassioned knowing and witnessing by a pure soul can also be considered Karma. In that sense even the liberated soul would be Kartä of such Karma. Logically therefore it should bear the consequences, which it actually does in the form of experiencing the bliss. But the word bearing is a misnomer here. We can talk of the worldly soul as bearing the consequences, because it has the sense of doing something and of bearing the comforts or discomforts arising as the consequence of its Karma. The liberated soul, however, stays in perfect bliss. That can be treated as the consequence of staying within pure consciousness.
Bliss is thus the consequence of remaining within the true nature, which is availed by the liberated soul. But availing of that bliss is non-conceptual. While availing it the liberated soul has no concept of I', me', or ‘mine'. That non-conceptuality is the essence of absolute bliss. The question of bearing the consequence does not arise here. Since the liberated soul forever stays blissfully aware of its consciousness, it is simply a formality to state that such a soul avails the said consequence.
