Neither any personal God nor any goul can create any other soul or non-soul. A soul is neither the primary nor the auxiliary cause of any action in another substance, from the real point of view. It is full of consciousness, without any motive or desire for any foreign activity whatsoever. A different belief is perversity.

350. It is from the view-point of some modifications and not from others that the soul is destroyed. Therefore the same soul enjoys (the fruit of Karmas) or another (enjoys) there is no Ekánta, one-sided view, that one soul feels and not another.
Commentary. Every substance has the capacity of rise, decay, and permanence. So has the soul. Take the case of a soul transformed from the life of a man to that of a celestial. From the substantive point
