Jain Spiritual Understanding of Five Samavayi Causes
Jain Reality (Logic) explains that Five Causes of equal magnitude (Samavayi) are always present when an event happens in the Universe or in our
Life
• Time (Kal) • Intrinsic nature (Swabhav) • Predestination (Niyati, Bhavitavyata, or Honahar) • Instrumental cause (Nimitta)
- External Beings, Objects (External Cause)
- Karma (Internal Cause) • Determination, Self-effort, or Freewill (Purushärtha)
