30.20

數論又難：「若後識生，從識非我，何緣後識不恒似前及三性心不定生耶？若有實我，此即無妨。謂我自在，能令於識不恒相似及不定生，理無妨矣。」

The Sāṃkhya objects again: "If the subsequent consciousness arises from consciousness and not from a self, for what reason does the subsequent consciousness not constantly resemble the prior one, and why do minds of the three natures arise indeterminately? If there is a real self, this poses no problem. Because the self is sovereign, it can cause consciousness not to constantly resemble [the prior one] and to arise indeterminately; logically there is no problem."
