The relation of Cause and Effect has been already explained. It only remains to add that the category of causality is mediated through the schema of order in Time. The Empirical Intuition first superimposes relations of antecedence and sequence on changing phenomena (the evolving *gunas* or Reals), and the Understanding out of these relations creates order in Time. The Empirical Intuition then intuits the phenomenal series of transformations of Energy in this Time-order and, in so doing, imports the relation of cause and effect into the course of Nature.
