COMMENTARY

In the effects, like a jar or a crown, we perceive the existence of the clay or gold which are the causes of the effects called jar and crown. In fact, the recognition of the clay, etc., in the jar, etc., would not have been possible, had the effect been absolutely different from its cause. An objector may say, but we do, not recognize the cause in the elephants, horses, etc., which are produced from the Kalpa tree, for there is nothing in common between the tree, and its effect, horses, elephants, etc. To this we reply, that there is no force in this objection. Here also there is the recognition of the cause in the effect. The Kalpa tree is a physical object, and so also are the horses and elephants; therefore, as far as the physical matter is concerned, the recognition is possible. But says an objector: there is no recognition of fire in the smoke and smoke, being the effect of fire, ought to show fire in it. To this we reply, that smoke is really the effect of damp fuel, which when coming in contact with fire throws off its earthly particles, in the form of smoke. That the smoke and fuel are identical, and that we can recognise the fuel in the smoke, is proved by the fact that smoke has smell as well as the fuel, and the smell is generally of the same kind as that of the fuel.
