Surely right faith (samyagdarśana) and right knowledge (samyagjñāna) arise in the soul simultaneously, still there exists a relationship of cause and effect between the two, as between the lamp and the light.
Jain, Vijay K., Shri Amritchandra Suri's Puruşārthasiddhyupāya, p. 28.
Lamp and light go together; still the lamp precedes the light, and light cannot be said to precede the lamp. In the same way there is relation of cause and effect between Right belief and Right knowledge, though both are almost simultaneous. Right knowledge cannot precede Right belief, and from this point of view Right knowledge is called the effect and Right belief the cause.
Ajit Prasada, Purushartha-Siddhyupaya by Shrimat Amritchandra Suri, p. 24.
