Fig. 12a, b, c, d etc. represent the different causes set going by a particular Jivatma in four
lives represented by compartments A, B, G and D and a' b' c' d' etc. the corresponding
Karmic effects which ensue in the same or a subsequent life. If these letters are dis-
tributed in the four separate compartments in an irregular manner only keeping in mind
that each effect follows its corresponding cause then it will not be possible for anyone
whose vision is confined to only one compartment to correlate all the causes and the
effects which are precipitated when the appropriate conditions present themselves ei-
ther in the same life or in subsequent lives. But if anyone looks at the letters from a
distance so that all the letters in the different compartments are visible simultaneously
then every effect can be traced to its corresponding cause, and in spite of the irregular
mixing up of the causes and effects in the different compartments, the law of cause and
effect is seen to be strictly obeyed.
- And there is no beginning of them, the desire to live being eternal.
