Chapter - 10 Psychologists and metaphysicians in the west, have adopted various hypotheses to explain the complex relation between the two. Epiphenomenalism, Parallelism and Interaction are some of the more popular hypotheses and these have also been discussed in chapter III. Each of these is found to be partially true, but none can justify its claim of being the best hypothesis.
Physical and chemical changes in the physical body cannot have any direct influence on the non-physical soul and yet in actual life they do influence and determine each other, each functioning as the auxiliary cause of the other. Thus, the two parallel series of modification are inter-related, each determining the other as an external or auxiliary causal agent.
Here, then, we have to deal with psycho-physical relationship which is transcended and reconciled by the law of causality and the doctrine of auxiliary cause. The soul and the karmic matter are. brought into contiguity and remain in a state of contiguous co-existence, called bondage. The soul does not have any positive attraction towards karmic matter and the causal interaction between them is the inter-determination in the form of auxiliary (nimitta) cause each of the other. The beginningless contiguous co-existence of the two substances is accepted as a fundamental presupposition and is condition of fresh bondage and the uninterrupted cycles of rebirths called samsāra. The verses are, therefore, an explanation of the perpetuity of the worldly state of existence...
