SUTRA II. 3. 35.

उपलब्धिवदनियमः॥२.३.३५॥

upalabdhivadaniyamaḥ ..2.3.35..

… Uplabdhivat, like perception, like the case of sentiency or non-sentiency as in Sutra II., 3. 20. … Aniyamah, want of determinateness, want of definiteness.

35. If the soul were not the agent, then there would be indefiniteness of all activities, just as in the case of consciousness, if it were all-pervading. — 253.

COMMENTARY

In the previous Sutra (II., 3. 30) it has been shown how indefinite would be the consciousness of the soul if it were omnipresent. On similar reasoning it can be shown that if all activities belong to Prakriti, and not to the soul, then there would be similar vagueness with regard to all activities. For Prakriti being all-pervading and the common possession of all souls, all actions would result in producing experiences in all souls, or in not producing experiences in any soul.

Note: As air is all-pervading, any vibration in air, such as sound, produces the same sensation in all persons, similarly Prakriti, being all-pervading, any activity in or of Prakriti will produce the same experience in all souls, and any inactivity would stop the activity of all souls.

You cannot say that the activity of the Prakriti in a particular locality would only produce experience in that soul, which is in proximity with it, and not in another which is at a distance from that locality, (as sound is heard by persons near its source, and not at a too great distance). For in your theory the souls being equally omnipresent with Prakriti, will experience the activities of Prakriti, wherever it may be active, for its proximity with Prakriti is present everywhere.
