"Is the soul, prior to the union with knowledge, a knower or a non-knower? If it is a knower, then the union with knowledge is futile. If it is a non-knower, then is it a non-knower due to the union with non-knowledge, or due to being one with non-knowledge? It cannot be due to the union with non-knowledge, for the union of a non-knower with non-knowledge is futile, and knowingness does not exist in the absence of the union with knowledge. Therefore, the statement 'non-knower' necessarily establishes oneness with non-knowledge. And since oneness with non-knowledge is established, oneness with knowledge is also necessarily established."
