If for avoiding these objections, the followers of this doctrine hold the existence of a Soul that is permanent and with which cach new Consciousness is attached, they again subject themselves to the new objection that that permanent substance, by being overcome with decrepitude, and with death that causes destruction, may in time be itself weakened and destroyed. If the supports of a palace are weakened by time, the mansion itself is sure to fall down in the end.
जरयाभिपरीतस्य मृत्युना च विनाशिना। दुर्बलं दुर्बलं पूर्व गृहस्येव विनश्यति॥
