as one substance, in fact, cannot work for other substances. This is done only to explain associated/instrumental factors which can be either passive or inspirational in nature (See Exhibit II).
From the real point of view, every substance has inherent ability to work for itself and all the six causes take place in the same substance independently and without interference or need for other substances for a particular action to take place. The clay has inherent and independent ability to get converted into a pot and hence clay is the doer and the pot is its deed. Clay and pot are inseparable and hence pot is the deed of clay only. Clay is instrumental by its nature to transform into a pot and clay is the instrument. The purpose of this action is clay pot and source of pot is clay only. Clay is the basis on which the pot is made. Like pot and clay, the empirical and real view of an act of violence is given in Exhibit III.
Six factors are separate and different in case of violent act as per empirical view but the real view point explains that the passion of violence only leads to violent action including a terror act. Passion of violence itself emerges in a terrorist within oneself, by oneself, for oneself, from oneself and on the basis and support of one self. See Exhibit Ill at the end of the article.
Every substance is functioning independently by its own inherent nature. Further, every property of a substance has its own six-fold causation process within that property and similarly, every form of a substance has its own six-fold causation. That is, every property of a substance operates independently and is neutral to the operation of another property and each form takes place independently without the help of other substances or the previous forms of that substance. Such is the secular nature of properties and forms of a substance.
In view of the above explanation of process of causation, a pure soul has inherent power and ability to achieve liberation, by means of contemplating the nature of pure soul, and thereby realisation of pure soul. The karmic matter in terms of its various eight-fold classifications also withers away by itself automatically. Liberation emerges/manifests from this permanent nature of pure soul and the same manifestation takes place on the stage of eternal nature of pure soul. Thus, the pure soul, of own-self, transforms into the state of liberation and hence called as self-made King of the Universe.
It can be seen that all the six causes are in the substance itself. Really speaking, one substance does not help another one in any action and every substance itself undergoes changes, within itself, by itself, for itself, from itself and on the basis and support of itself. This is the universal truth.
