According to this system all souls will regain their freedom and their natural rights, which are omnipotence and omniscience. Here the question may be asked, whence is this bondage of the souls? The _Sânkhya_ says it is without beginning, but if it be without beginning it must also be without end, and we shall never be free. Kapila explains that this “without beginning” means not in a constant line. Nature is without beginning and without end, but not in the same sense as is the soul, because Nature has no individuality, just as a river flowing by us is every moment getting a fresh body of water, and the sum total of all these bodies of water is the river, so the river is not a constant quantity. Similarly everything in Nature is constantly changing, but the soul never changes. Therefore as Nature is always changing, it is possible for the soul to come out of its bondage. One theory of the _Sânkhya_ is peculiar to this psychology. The whole of the universe is built upon the same plan as one single man, or one little being; so, just as I have a mind, there is also a cosmic mind. When this macrocosm evolves there must be first intelligence, then egoism, then the _tanmâtras_ and the organs, and then the gross elements. The whole universe according to Kapila is one body, all that we see are the grosser bodies, and behind these are the finer bodies, and behind them, a universal egoism, and behind that a universal Intelligence, but all this is _in_ Nature, all this is manifestation of Nature, not outside of Nature. Each one of us is a part of that cosmic consciousness. There is a sum-total of intelligence out of which we draw what we require, so there is a sum-total of mental force in the universe out of which we are drawing eternally, but the seed for the body must come from the parents. The theory includes heredity and reincarnation too. The material is given to the soul out of which to manufacture a body, but that material is given by hereditary transmission from the parents.
