So called, by the all-pervasive, or all-diffusive nature of consciousness.] (\u0101tma) does not take away one\u2019s sin or merit. It is by ignorance that wisdom is wrapped, creatures being thereby deluded.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0100tma cannot snatch away the sin, -i.e., misery or suffering,\u2014 though it may attach to a beloved son etc., nor can it steal away the merit \u2014i.e., happiness\u2014 which may belong to one who is hated. Because \u0101tma is not insignificant (<em>kv\u0101chitka\u1e25<\/em>), constrained to keep to a certain limited sphere as when confined in the body of a deva and so on; and, inasmuch as \u0101tma is of a nature that can have neither the relationship called amity, nor antagonism called enmity, all such notions (friends, foes etc.) are caused by <em>v\u0101san\u0101<\/em> (material instinct). How then does such instinct come to \u0101tma of the above-described nature? The reason is ignorance. Ignorance covers (or veils) wisdom. Ignorance (or nescience) is that which is opposed to wisdom (or knowledge). By this wisdom-hostile ignorance -due to the retrospective karma (deeds),\u2014 the intelligence (or consciousness) of this \u0101tma becomes contracted, so as to subject it (\u0101tma) to the predicament of becoming an enjoyer of the fruits thereof (of karma). By karma then, which confines (or obscures) intelligence, the linking with such bodies as deva, etc., is forged. From love for the bodies, arises infatuation. This infatuation persisting, becomes the instinct (v\u0101san\u0101), (which constitutes the germ for further material existence). <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/thence\">Thence<\/a> spring forth the further body-loving instincts, and karma-instincts (i.e, pruriency or impulse to act)[1. So, instinct is of two kinds, the instinct to love (<em>abhim\u0101na<\/em>) and the instinct to act (<em>karma<\/em>). V\u0101sana is lit: scent, (it means habit, tendency, nascent inclination etc.)]. From these instincts, further perverted[2. Love for matter etc.] loves issue, and further impulses to action are engendered[3. Here ends the manner in which one is to fancy disavowal of all authorship of acts to \u0101tma.
