Thought 59: The impact of cause and effect in the day-to-day life


The Cause and Effect is the law governing the Srishti (Creation). This law never changes; and it has no exceptions. This law applies to everything in the universe – to the living beings, to the other moving and non-moving things (Charaachara Jagat) and also to the phenomena of nature. This is the inviolable law here. This is not a law made by anyone here! This is Isvara’s (God’s) law.

When you go to a medical doctor, the very first thing that he orders is a series of clinical tests to establish the cause of your complaint or ailment, before he begins the treatment or the surgery. He insists on knowing what caused the ailment. Cause and effect is a well-established concept in the health care management.

It is even so in the police and the criminal investigation services too. Whenever a crime takes place, the detectives look for the cause – because they know that without a proper cause (reason), no crime ever takes place. And they also know that unless they show the cause with a proper and scientific evidence, the criminal will not be convicted in the court of law. Therefore, cause and effect is also a very important concept in the management of criminal jurisprudence.

In the management of the maintenance and repair services of appliances and machinery (called Tero-technology), finding out the cause is crucial to the restoration of the performance of the faulty device or machine. If they do not trace the cause that caused the malfunction, they have no hope of ever repairing it or ever preventing its recurrence in future. Just think how critical it is in the Aviation technology and industry. They would never allow an aircraft into air unless they established beyond all doubt that the cause of the defect reported earlier is completely investigated and removed.

In general, we may say nothing ever happens without a cause; nothing ever happens in this world without a reason.

The next thought is about “Man is egocentric”
