In the same way, supposing as a groundless assumption that the selfsame portion of consciousness, which in the first place is not so solid and stable as water, could possibly appear again on the surface, without any addition or deduction, still it is utterly impossible that it should possess its past qualities and impressions, for it has been absolutely purified by sinking into the Consciousness. And if even a drop of ink loses its ink property in the sea, why should not the ocean of Consciousness purify its own element from all elements foreign to itself? If Hinduism teaches the belief that bathing once in the Sangam at the uniting of the two rivers can purify men from all life's sins, how can it deny that this bath of the soul, sinking into the Consciousness even once, purifies the soul from all the properties it has gathered during its previous life? In the first place, the nature of absorption itself in the Spirit is purification from the material state of being, and the very nature of manifestation is for the soul to come new and fresh. God bless you.
