Authority
There are many things we have to accept solely on grounds of
superior authority. No one can deny the existence of his father,
based upon the authority of his mother. There is no source of
understanding the identity of the father except by the author-ity
of the mother. Similarly, there is no source of understanding the
soul except by studying the Vedas. In other words, the soul is
inconceivable by human experimental knowledge.
