CONCEPTS OF VEDANTA
Cause and effect

    Taitt. Up. 2.1.S.B.-na hi kaaraNavyatirekeNa kaaryam naama vastutaH asti ----
There is no such thing as effect in reality apart from the cause. The effect has no real existence apart from the cause. Ch.up.6.1.4---All modifications exist in name only, being created only by words. Anubhuutiprakaas'a of VidyaaraNya-1.20-Just as a pot made
out of clay is really nothing but clay, so also this universe which has originated from the Supreme Self (Brahman) has no reality apart from the Supreme Self.
