Sankhya Yoga
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Jiva is uncleavable even as तत् – the Lord is. Eternal, dwelling in every side firmly established as an atom. is Sri Vishnu is firmly established on all sides, with all else subservient to him. Though the the ultimate goal never ceasing to be is his being immoveable, identified by the Primal Sound, Jiva is ever resonant, perennial. Eternally exists under the control of the all-pervading Sri Vishnu; being under His control, makes him (the Jiva) immoveable. Being attributed with inviolable rules (of Veda) be is known as सनातन – perennial, thus, in Maha Vishnu Puraana. He is said to be one who cannot be cut, again (to show similarity with Lord not equality). In whom this one (Jiva) is established, He is indescribable, unthinkable, without form. One who knows the Lord thus, all his miseries are destroyed. (Therefore) you need not sorrow. (Because), 'I always deliver them', as variously said. Not that I was not; nor that you were not, thus both (Lord and Jiva) are mentioned, देहिन शरीरिण:, देही - in this manner by special attributes Jiva (Individual Self) are refereed from place to place. Words like अविनाशी (indestructible), येन सर्वमिंद ततम् (by whom all this pervaded), अनाशिनो अप्रमेयस्य (indestructible and incomprehensible), न मियते (does not die), भूत्वा न भाविता (once born, never ceasing to be), अविनाशिनाम् (indestructible), अव्ययम् (immutable), अव्यक्तो अयं अचिन्त्यों अयं अविकारो अयन् (indescribable, unthinkable, immutable) etc. are the attributes of the Supreme Self.Jiva does not pervade everywhere, nor is neither be primarily incomprehensible, nor be is eternally indestructible. He is not destructible his attribute being eternal. Neither is he primarily indescribable nor immutable. Nor once born, ceases to be born again in the form of body. (Jiva need not be born again in human body alone.) Because there is no separation from human body for the Lord, the word अविनाशि is applicable attribute to Him.
