Why should the free, perfect, and pure be thus under the thraldom of

matter, is the next question. How can the perfect soul be deluded into the

belief that it is imperfect? We have been told that the Hindus shirk the

question and say that no such question can be there- Some thinkers want to

answer it by positing one or more quasi-perfect beings, and use big

scientific names to fill up the gap. But naming is not explaining. The

question remains the same. How can the perfect become the quasi-perfect;

how can the pure, the absolute change even a microscopic particle of its

nature?
