First Doubt regarding Existence of Soul
It would be noticed that the above doubts arise by virtue of the identification of soul with the body. The pupil has raised the following points against the existence of soul: (1) it is not seen, (2) it has no form, (3) it is not experienced, (4) it can be the same as body, senses, or breath, (5) there is no separate sign of its existence, and (6) it is not visible like a pot or cloth. The Guru will now clear these points one by one and establish the existence of soul to the satisfaction of the pupil.
