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.
