5.1 Summary

The movement of one causes the movement of the other, and it is not necessary for the root cause to be apparent. The residual force left after an impact acts on the other, called samskāra or impression. In the absence of impression, falling occurs due to gravity. The attention to a gem or pointed attention to a needle has an unseen-cause. Remember, both ātman and mind are types of substances, and these rules equally apply to them!

Movement in the hand is due to conjunction of ātman and effort. Likewise, action in the pestle arises from conjunction with the hand. The impact arising from the movement of the pestle and the like is due to distinct cause and not due to the conjunction of the hand. Likewise, the conjunction of the ātman causes movement of the hand (but the cause is different). The impact is due to the movement arising from the conjunction of the hand with the pestle. Similarly, the movement of ātman also arises from conjunction with the hand. In the absence of conjunction, falling occurs due to gravity. Due to absence of specific propulsion, there is neither upward nor lateral movement. Specific propulsion results from specific effort. Specific lifting results from specific propulsion. The movement up on a child is explained through the movement of the hand. Likewise, in the bursting of what is burnt. Movement occurs even in the absence of effort in one who is asleep. Action in grass arises from conjunction with the wind. The attention to a gem or pointed attention to a needle has an unseen-cause. The special and distinct conjunctions of simultaneous arrow-parts cause variation in movement. The movement of the primary substance from propulsion causes successive motions through impression. In the absence of impression, falling occurs due to gravity.
