Moreover, birth of that self is not possible because of its beginninglessness; therefore it is not the case that, being born, it generates an unborn embryo, for being unborn it generates the unborn embryo. And that very embryo in course of time attains the states of childhood, youth, and old age; in whatever state it is present, it is born in that state, but in that which is yet before it, it is about to be born; therefore, it is simultaneously born and unborn. And in that in which both these—the state of being born and the state of being about to be born—are possible, it is born as already born; and unborn with respect to the yet unreached subsequent states, it generates itself by itself.
