TATTVASANGRAHA: CHAPTER XXII.
Thon again, as a matter of fact, there is no increase and decrease in the feelings of Love, etc. upon increase and decrease of Phlogm. And when the change in one thing does not bring about a change in the other, the former cannot be the cause of the latter. Similarly, fierce Hatreil, and not fierce Love, has been seen to appear in one with preponderance of Phlegm ; while one with preponderance of Bile is found to have fierce Love, not fierce Hatred; this sort of comingling is often met with; and when one thing appears without the other, this latter cannot be the cause of the former.

TRADICTORY', -BECAUSE IT PROVES THE CONTRARY OF THE FACT OF THE FEELINGS BEING DUE TO THE REPEATED EXPERIENCE OF ANOTHER LIFE." -(1962-1963)
COMMENTARY. The sonse of the objection is as follows:
"In reference to the feelings of Love, etc. appearing for the first time, what is it that is desired to be proved-(1) Is it that they proceed from repeated experience during present life --Or (2) that they proceed from the repeated experience during other lives -Or (3) that they proceed only from mere "repeated experience without any qualifications ?-As, if this is proved, then by implication, it becomes proved that they are due to experiences of the other world':-these are the only alternative views possible.
