The people of old knew that fire lived in the flint and in dry wood, but friction was necessary to call it out.
So this fire of freedom and purity is the nature of every soul, and not a quality, because qualities can be acquired and therefore can be lost.
The soul is one with Freedom, and the soul is one with Existence, and the soul is one with Knowledge. The Sat-chit-ananda -- existence-knowledge-bliss Absolute -- is the nature, the birthright of the Soul, and all the manifestations that we see are Its expressions, dimly or brightly manifesting Itself.
