It is from the practical standpoint that the soul produces pitcher, cloth, chariot, (and other) things, seoses, and Karmas and quasi-Karmas of various kinds in this world. 106. And if that (soul) produces the non-self substances in reality, (then) it becomes one with them. Because (it is) not one with them, therefore the soul is not the doer of them. . 107.
