5. Just as these rivers flowing towards the sea and entering
therein lose their forms (colours etc.) and names, and become
part of the sea, so these
kalas
of the Supreme Soul are advanc-
ing towards Him, and reaching Him are lost, both in form and
in name. These 16 kalas are created by Him, but He Himself
separate from them and immortal. At the end of the creation
these kalas are extinguished, being reduced into subtle matter
and no longer exist in Him. In this connection the following
is the scripture.

6. Just as the spokes of the wheel of a chariot are set in its
navel, so
do
kalas
(divine attributes) exist in the Supreme Spirit.
You
must attain knowledge of that Supreme Spirit fit to be
known; only then you shall be free from the pain of births add
deaths.
