Nyanamoli thera | Temperature and nutriment are conditions at the instant (moment) of their presence for temperature-originated and nutriment-originated materiality.1 |
“If the fruit were to arise from present kamma, the fruit would have arisen in the same moment in which the kamma was being accumulated; and that is not seen, nor is it desirable.
For in the world (i.e. among non-Buddhists) kamma has never been shown to give fruit while it is actually being effected; nor is there any text to that effect—
But is it not also the fact that no fruit has ever been shown to come from a vanished cause either? Or even a cock to crow because of that?
— Certainly it has not been shown where the connectedness of material things is broken off. But the simile does not apply because there is connectedness of immaterial things here.
For when the fruit arises from kamma that is actually past it does so because of kamma having been performed and because of storage.
For this is said: ‘Because profitable sense- sphere kamma has been performed, stored up, there comes to be eye-consciousness’ (Dhs §431).
“Since consciousness has efficient power only at the instant of its arising, with the acquisition of a proximity condition, etc., it therefore only gives rise to materiality while it is arising.
But since materiality has efficient power at the instant of its presence, with the acquisition of a postnascence condition, etc., it is therefore said that ‘temperature and nutriment are conditions at the instant of their presence for temperature-originated and nutriment-originated materiality.’ Temperature and nutriment give rise to materiality at the instant of their own presence by acquiring outside temperature and nutriment as their condition, is the meaning”.
