been mentioned here. They have been discussed in detail in several philosophical texts. So the reader should study them from there.
Thus all such theories based simply on imagination, spoil the ve nature of Ishwar. They are products of falsehood.
Ekatamavad (belief in one soul)- In the present aphorism the philosophy of prevalence of one soul as propounded by Vedanta has been discussed and it has been proved that it is not true. Ekatamavadis believe that in the entire world, the soul is only one but it appears in different forms just as moon is one but in different vessels and collections of water it appears in different forms. To believe that there is absolutely one soul is directly not established and it does not hold good even in the test of logic. It is quite evident that souls are numberless in the form of man, animal, bird, ants, plant life and so on. In case the soul had been only one, with the death of any one living being, all world would have died and with the birth of any one all world have taken
birth. Further in case one was happy, every one should have been happy s and in case one was in pain, every one should have been in pain. The
good and bad fruit (punya and paap) should not have been separate.
Thus with the acceptance of this theory, all the worldly set up and 5 metaphysical set up shall dwindle. So theory of existence of just one soul (Ekatamavad) is also untrue.
Akartrivad-According to Sankhya philosophy, soul is formless, conscious, experiencer, permanent, all pervading and non-doer. It is subtle and free of all traits.
They say—soul never gets bound. It never gets liberated. It does not i transmigrate from one life-span to another. The bondage, liberation and
wandering in the mundane world is there only in the case of prakriti (nature) dependent on many souls (purushas).
In Sankhya school of thought, there are two fundamental elementspurush (the soul) and pradhan (prakriti). At the time of the origin of the Universe first of all prakriti produced intellect, intellect produced ego, ego created five senses of Karmas, five senses, of knowledge and five tanmatra (senses of sight, taste, smell, touch and hearing). The said five Tanmatras created five bhutas namely earth, water, fire, air and space. This is the theory of creation according to Sankhya School.
