If again the existence of an eternal Soul is held which is immutable, which is the refuge of the understanding, consciousness, and other similar attributes, and which is dissociated from all these, such an assertion is subject to a serious objection for then all that is usually done in the world would be meaningless, especially with reference to the attaininent of the fruits of charity and other religious acts. All the injunctions in the Shrutis regarding those acts, and all acts connected with the conduct of in the world, would be equally men meaningless, for the Soul being dissociated form, the understanding and the mind, there is no one to enjoy the fruits of good acts and Vedic rites.
