The law of Karma is the law of causation.
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
The effect is delusion, and therefore the cause must be delusion.
The cause of today is the effect of the past and the cause for the future.
The cause being finite, the effect must be finite. If the cause is eternal the effect can be eternal, but all these causes, doing good work, and all other things, are only finite causes, and as such cannot produce infinite result.
Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
One link in a chain explains the infinite chain.
Nothing can be produced without a cause, and the effect is but the cause reproduced.
No effect of work can be eternal.
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Everything that we know is within our universe, and everything within our universe is moulded by the conditions of space, time, and causation.
Everything is present in its cause, in its fine form.
Everything has a cause.
Everything, both mental and physical, is rigidly bound by the law of causation.
