Why blame body or the soul

Indeed why blame them? The soul needs a body to envelope itself, without the body, the self simply does not exist. So is true for mind and intellect, without a soul or the self, it does not think nor contemplates. But, and a big But, does that indescribable self need think or seek wisdom, because the self is a witness and it does not take sides. It just observes. OH! it is getting more complicated, illusion of a deluded person. Why?
It is just like a blessing for the wise, while the same blessing could be a  curse (Shrap) for a fool. Reminds me of Panchadashi, where Swami Vidyaranya Muni in chapter  XII  verse 70 of Bramhanande Atmananda refers a dialogue between a guru and sisya. The ignorant hence fool argues and can not take guru's words as true while a wise student takes it a satya and remains wise and stays so to become sthita pragya. Meaning to a fool it becomes a curse while a blessing to wise - the same words and teachings of a bramhavit tattvavit guru.
The fact we are a composite whole consisting of a body mind and intellect that envelops the Self.
