________________ [ 54 ] altogether. It must be remembered in this connection that their atomic connection so far a Bhoga is concerned has already disappeared as otherwise they would have not been gifted with a glorious body by the Lord but the impurity of adhikāra and not a Bhoga still clings to them and when this impurity is destroyed and is followed by a sense of detachment, there is no reason why these souls should continue on the higher cosmic planes as world administrators to go back to the original Divine State from which they derived their origin. There are other souls who are of a comparatively inferior order. They are eternally free from the bonds of Karma and present themselves in their substantial forms as free from impure matter as well as above the functioning of Karma forces which operate in the world of matter. These souls will never come down into the mundane world and take part in worldly affairs. Similarly they will never be able to rise upto Divine Height and attain the status of Siya and will be for ever free from the level of mundane life. Their present existence is that of Kaivalya or Isolation, Isolation not only from the world of impure matter but also from the world of pure matter. They are for ever free from the trouble of transmigration and moving about from world to world in search of a new body as a result of a prior Karma. They are . free from the worldly pain on one hand and free also from the Divine Bliss on the other. Their present status is that of Kaivalya which is technically described as the position of a Vijñānākala, Vijñānakevali souls. These souls live always a life of isolation without any body or senses of any kind and detached not only from the world of impure matter but also from the world of divine fulfilment. This state of Kaivalya is said to be of three kinds according to the degree of impurity from which freedom has been secured. These souls are free from Karmic forces of . any kind and therefore never go down to the mundane world to reap the consequences of those Karmas. Being deprived of accession of divine wisdom they are also unable to attain the . status of siva, These souls as such do not get the advantage of Divine Grace till the innate impurity gets sufficiently matureda.
