As the cause is, so the effect will be Cause is never different from effect, the effect is but the cause reproduced in another form.

Swami Vivekananda

Seeking out causes is a pastime of the mind. There is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Time is in the mind, space is in the mind. The law of cause and effect is also a way of thinking. In reality all is here and now and all is one. Multiplicity and diversity are in the mind only.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Nocebos often cause a physical effect, but it's not a physically produced effect. What's the cause? In many cases, it's an unanswered question.

Irving Kirsch

There cannot be a cause without an effect, the present must have had its cause in the past and will have its effect in the future.

Swami Vivekananda

Time travel offends our sense of cause and effect - but maybe the universe doesn't insist on cause and effect.

Edward M. Lerner

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.

Swami Vivekananda

All of life presents itself as a cycle of cause and effect. When this cycle is negative, there are three ways to change. You can change the cause, change the effect, or choose the most powerful option become the cause!

Bill Crawford

Mind is the cause; everything else is effect.

Alan Cohen

According to the Law of Cause and Effect, every effect must have a cause. In other words, everything that happens has a catalyst; everything that came into being has something that caused it. Things don't just happen by themselves.

Ray Comfort

...It is impossible, I say, for the human mind not to believe that there is in all this design, cause, and effect up to an Ultimate Cause-a Fabricator of all things, from matter and motion-their Preserver and Regulator while permitted to exist in their present forms-and their Regenerator into new and other forms.

Thomas Jefferson

Every event in this world is the effect of some precedent cause, and also the cause of some subsequent effect.

Horace Mann

One should not wrongly reify 'cause' and 'effect,' as the natural scientists do (and whoever, like them, now 'naturalizes' in his thinking), according to the prevailing mechanical doltishness which makes the cause press and push until it 'effects' its end; one should use 'cause' and 'effect' only as pure concepts, that is to say, as conventional fictions for the purpose of designation and communication-not for explanation.

Friedrich Nietzsche

As no cause remains without its due effect from greatest to least, from a cosmic disturbance down to the movement of your hand, and as like produces like, Karma is that unseen and unknown law which adjusts wisely, intelligently, and equitably each effect to its cause, tracing the latter back to its producer.

H. P. Blavatsky

Some theists, observing that all 'effects' need a cause, assert that God is a cause but not an effect. But no one has ever observed an uncaused cause and simply inventing one merely assumes what the argument wishes to prove.

Dan Barker

The Buddha is your real body, your original mind. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones. It's like space. You can't hold it. It's not the mind of materialists or nihilists. If you don't see your own miraculously aware nature, you'll never find a Buddha, even if you break your body into atoms.

Bodhidharma
