## The Commonality of the Eight Yogadrishtis (79)
On the contrary, those who are devoid of the eight yogadrishtis are like inert matter, and therefore, they never experience the sweet nectar of liberation. Just as inert matter, no matter how much you squeeze it, will not yield any juice, so too, these individuals, no matter how much they strive, will not experience the sweet nectar of liberation. They are like inert matter, devoid of the essence of love, and therefore, they will never experience the sweet nectar of liberation. Even if these individuals engage in countless material actions devoid of love, or become great scholars by studying scriptures, they will never change their nature. Just as a snake does not become a bird by drinking milk, these individuals will never change their nature. Because the seed of love never sprouts in their hearts. Therefore, they are unfit for liberation, and hence, they are called "abhavya" (devoid of the eight yogadrishtis).
Therefore, according to the principle of "arthapatti" (inference), such individuals are also unfit to attain the eight yogadrishtis, because if they were to attain them, they would no longer be "abhavya". Only those who are "bhavya" (worthy) can attain the eight yogadrishtis, not those who are "abhavya".
**Abhavya**
**Unworthy**
**The Diminishment of Yogadrishtis in the Resultant Soul:**
As the different dristi (perspectives) evolve and change, the pure soul emerges and manifests itself. From this, it follows that:
(1) The eight yogadrishtis do not diminish in the philosophy of the "aparinama" (non-transformational) soul, which believes that the soul is eternally unchanging.
(2) Similarly, the eight yogadrishtis do not diminish in the philosophy of the "kshanika" (momentary) soul, which believes that the soul is momentary. This is because, according to their belief, there is no transformation or evolution of the soul.
This is because:
1. If the soul is considered to be eternally unchanging, then how can the eight yogadrishtis be attained? The eight yogadrishtis are not possible without transformation, and therefore, they cannot be attained by a soul that is eternally unchanging. Therefore, either the soul must be considered to be transformable, or the eight yogadrishtis must be abandoned.
2. If the eight yogadrishtis are abandoned, then where is the place for liberation in the philosophy of the non-transformational soul? Their concept of liberation will become a mere "kalpana" (imagination).
**The Philosophy of the Eternally Unchanging Soul**
**Unacceptable**
