if there were a permanent soul,it couldn't interact with impermanent things.
1.let's say there were a permanent part of the soul and a impermanent part,for one how could the two be coherent as an entity?
think about it,you have a permanent soul but it exerts and has impermanent efforts,wills,cognitions and sensations it also experiences,how is this possible?
it's a contradiction!two contradictorary states of being can NEVER be in unison!
it's like saying there is a unified entity,let's say a bachelor mgtow for life,but he is also married etc ot a psl 10 gigachad that's also facially a truecel.
2.if we assume a married bachelor were possible,we must ask the questions of where do the impermanent parts of the soul come from?if it comes from a fully actual and thus eternal soul,how can the permanent and thus unchanging create the impermanent and changing?
3.anything permanent would be unconditioned and thus cannot be a cause of anything because to create and sustain something requires effort in a continual sense even if it were eternally without beginning,which it means it is in time and is momentary and thus accidental and not unconditioned.
4.something unconditioned cannot interact with anything and as a famous buddhist philosopher shantideva says,would be inert.the islamic neoplatonists (Which is different from classical,as in emanationism vs monism in the latter)say the only permanent soul,the all-good knows only itself so they agree with this,but conditions and qualities are synonyms and qualities are synonyms of essences,so a thing without conditions as famous buddhist philosopher nagarjuna said,would be inert.
now we get to the real sum of this post,if when you die you are going into oblivion the obvious choice is to extert minimal effort for the highest amount of pleasure.
this and this
is the sum of life
not this
