The Same Considerations Logically Pursued Will Prove To Us That This Conscious

 - "Thus in all the three states, the cognising entity is the same. Similarly also on other days" entity has been the same in the months and other periods of time

- in the beginningless past and will continue as the same in the endless future. It knows no beginning and knows no end. It is ever single.

- An object of cognition has to be illuminated by the light of the cognising entity before it can become such an object. As that entity is not an object

- of cognition, it does not require any other light to illumine it. It is self-luminous. "This cognition is One throughout the varied months, years, yugas and Kalpas

- that are past or yet to come. It does not come into being nor does it cease to be, it is luminous in itself". Thus by demonstrating its continued existence 

- throughout the past and the future, its eternality, that is, existence throughout all the periods of time, in other words, its Sat or existence aspect has been proved. 

- By its very nature as a self-lumionous cognising entity, its Chit or Consciousness aspect is also clear beyond doubt. The Acharya next takes up the Ananda aspect which is also is an essential characteristic of that entity

- "This (the cognisant entity), the Self, is the Highest Bliss as it is the object of the highest love. This love in the Self is well seen I must not cease to be as, I must ever be"
