310 words

بعضی را گمان چنین که جسد جوهر است و قائم بالذات است و روح عرض

Question:
After the body has been cast off and the spirit has taken flight, through what will the rational soul subsist? Let us suppose that those souls who are aided by the outpourings of the Holy Spirit attain true existence and everlasting life. But what becomes of those rational souls who are veiled from God?
Translation:
Official translation
Some hold that the body is the substance and that it subsists by itself, and that the spirit is an accident
