“Not a valid question,” the Blessed One replied. “Bhikkhu, whether one
says, ‘What now is aging-and-death, and for whom is there this
aging-and-death?’ or whether one says, ‘Aging-and-death is one thing,
the one for whom there is this aging-and-death is another’—both these
assertions are identical in meaning; they differ only in the phrasing.
If there is the view, ‘The soul and the body are the same,’ there is
no living of the holy life; and if there is the view, ‘The soul is one
thing, the body is another,’ there is no living of the holy life.
Without veering towards either of these extremes, the Tathagata
teaches the Dhamma by the middle: ‘With birth as condition,
aging-and-death. ’

Why is there no living the holy life when  there is the view, ‘The soul and the body are the same,’ and if there is the view, ‘The soul is one thing, the body is another’?

user23553: As long as one has wrong view, has not left home/stand, what ever ways one lifes, it's not to be regarded as living the holy life. Of course right view requires proper attention at first place, not grasping straw-men.
Not able to take on the Jīva (stand/robe of the Arahats, eg. right view, leaving home), what should/can a house/stand-maintainer expect to validate holy in his ways?
Understand? Speech and mind aren't different for one of right view. Just Ahara-hants think one way, speak in another, act different of both.
