24–25 It is said that the soul is indivisible and cannot be burned, moistened, or dried. It is eternal, it reaches all planes yet remains still, immovable, and ever-present. It is imperceptible, inconceivable, and untransformable (by the sixfold transformations*). Therefore, knowing the nature of the soul as such, there is no reason to lament for it.*Birth, existence, growth, maturity, diminution, and destruction.
