I humbly request you to first read my post in entirty and then make 
such accusations:) I did not introduce nor did I make it sound like 
sahetukam. From jeevatma's perspective it is Nirhetukam "ONLY". I 
have mentioned this many times. I apologize for I can't explain this 
any better. I request again, to read the post in its entirty and try 
to understand it before making such statements.
