[ 79 ] Universe of destruction in which everything produced has been reduced to its original source. This state is periodic indeed. It does not come as a result of discrimination on the part of the Atmā as in the case described above. It is only periodic condition of rest in which all activies are suspended. In this condition the adjustment of the Karmic law is not met and as a result of which there is peiodic revival of cosmic activities during the succeeding stages of oreation. It is a state analogous to sleep in the individual self, as in sleep all conscious activies of the body ars suspended for a short time and are resumed when the sleep is broken.

This is a periodic affair both in the individual or in the cosmic system. The period of rest is followed by the period of action and peried of action is followed by the period of the rest. This goes on eternally and does not effect in anyway the spiritual change of the soul either in the negative or in the constructive manner. The Karma of the individual self in all cases remains only suspended and revives on the resumption of creation.

If the Māyic counterpart works i. e.
the person is in the Mãyic world enjoying the fruits of his past arma, his spiritural body will always be a passive enjoyer of
