there is nothing; No God or soul exist. In conclusion, the Charvakas believed the human life begins and ends in this world. The Charvakas believed that one should not base their beliefs upon other teachings of others, so does that mean the basis of truth was found in subjective experience? If they did not believe in afterlife, does that mean that they didn't believe in karma or the concept of sacrifice? Sacrifice was mostly used in hope of some better afterlife, but maybe sacrifice was also used by the Charvakas for some unknown reason. The Charvakas believed matter alone was real, but does this mean beauty or intelligence is real? This part of the physical self also dies with the body, but does that make it matter? They didn't believe in following religious beliefs, maybe because these thoughts of religion was someone else's thoughts?
