Can you explain the philosophical concept of dissolution and how it suggests that existence continues after the body's death?

πŸ“– Chapter 37

As detailed in Chapter 37, the passing of the body does not result in nothingness because the effect is never separate from its cause. The text uses an analogy: if a pot is broken, only its form is destroyed, but the 'pot-existence' continues within the broken pieces. The dissolution of any effect occurs by taking refuge in its existence. Similarly, when the gross effect of the body dissolves, the subtle cause remains. This hierarchy of subtleness continues until the intellect can no longer perceive it, but Pure Being, or Sanmatra, shines everywhere. The unmanifest becomes manifest but is always connected to 'Being'.
