According to the Tamil philosophers, the law of causation is inanimate and insensible and it is directed towards us by the All Knowing Almighty Being who knows as to whom the profit or loss and pleasure or pain, are due. That is why Valluvar says, that even this invincible law of causation can be averted and rendered powerless by earnest prayer and intensive devotion to God, the Almighty.
இருள்சேர் இருவினையும் சேரா இறைவன்
பொருள்சேர் புகழ்புரிந்தார் மாட்டு. (52)
We should also note with care the difference between the Fatalist theory and the Tamilian. The Fatalist theory is based on the past Karma done in the previous births, and refers to all the karmas done in the past as well as in the present birth.
