308. Whatever is produced from a substance, has the same attributes as those of the substance. Know ye; certainly they cannot be different, just as bangles, etc. made of gold cannot be other than gold.

309. Whatever modifications of the Self and non-Self are described in the scriptures, know ye: that these modifications are identical in nature with the Self and non-Self respectively and not different.

310. The Self is not an effect because it is not produced by anything whatever, nor is it a cause because it does not produce anything whatever.

311. The manifested effect conditions the nature of the manifesting agent and similarly the manifesting determines the nature of effects. This is the principle of causation that is observed to operate in the world of reality and no other principle is evident.
