intervolved 'Chain' or 'Series ' ;-and tbat no such impressions arise from the performance of such evil acts as Harming others and the like. Having thus realised the exact limitations of Canses and their Effects, they undertake the performance of good deeds. This has been thus declared Until the loss of love for one's own self comes about, the man continues to suffer pain and does not feel comfortable; there should therefore be efforts put forth for the removing of these false impositions.-even though there be no such entity as the Experiencer (of the fruits of actions)
How the Relation of Cause and Effect and the Means of Right Cognition thereof are establislied has already been explained above.-(541-512)
It has been argued above (under Text 493) that "if things are momentary, Recognition cannot be explained" -The answer to this is provided in the following

In reality, there is no one who is the Rememberer or the Apprehender of things; for, if there were, then it would mean that the thing is remembered by the same entity that had apprehended it. What happens is that Remembranca and the rest come about only in that Chain (or Series) in which their seed has been laid by the successive production of more and more specialised
moments' by a specially vivid apprehension and not anywhere else ; as the scope of the relation of Cause and Effect is restricted. Such in brief is the sense of the Text.---This has been this declared :-Our theory cannot be vitiated by the possibility of Remembrance and Experience of Results coming to other persons ; becauso there can be no such remembrance at all : Who is the man whose mind has ever remembered what had been apprehended by another
As for Recognition and the rest, they are always brought about by previous Remembrance; henco there is no incongruity at all.—Nor has it anywhere been proved that Recognition and the rest are all based upon a single Cogniser, by virtue of which it has been asserted (under Text 494) that "if there were difference between the two, the Recognition would be baseless". Because merely on the basis of the relation of Cause and Effect, difference has to be admitted in all cases.-(543)
It has been argued (under Text 496) that "what is bound up with the chains of Attachment, etc. is one Moment, etc. etc.; and hence there can be no idea of Bondage and Liberation under tho theory of Perpetual FluxThe answer to this is provided in the following
