These stages of existence created by beginningless and endless time, which is a representative of the Supreme Lord, are not visible, just as the infinitesimal changes of position of the planets in the sky cannot be directly seen. “If these states are there at every moment, why are they not seen? The argument in question is without proof.” The states of birth and death caused by time without beginning and end are not seen, just as the movements of the planets in the sky are not seen. Just as one must infer the movement of a planet at every moment so that it attains a different visible position, one must infer subtle states of change between the stages of infancy and youth which are visible. Thus the argument is not without proof.
