Dr. Samani Mangal Pragya
Neither the soul does anything, nor does it get anything done from others. The soul has no relation with all these doings and asking for doings. The soul is a non-doer. Some people dare to establish such principles.[1] The commentator says that this is the belief of Sānkhya.[2] Why is the soul a non- doer? For this the commentator has given reasons, such as, soul's in-corporeality, continuity and all-pervasiveness.[3] According to the Sānkhya philosophy, the soul is incorporeal, continuous and all-pervasive. It does not have doing-ness.
According to Jain philosophy, the soul is body- pervasive[4], not omni present. Formlessness and continuity are not hurdles of doing-ness. According to Jainism, the soul is Pariṇāmi-nitya (eternal substance with inherent transformations). It is not motionless or non-doer
