Causality is not as strict as we think it is. “If I do this, I will get this.” Nothing is this simple. God often makes it this simple so we do not go insane. But he doesn’t have to. It’s said the planets choose to move in a regular motion, out of their own freedom, because they enjoy the rhythm and perfection.
The causalities described in the Vedas is maybe close to “law”. Newton is close to law. But most of our cause-effect ideas are largely God’s gifts and lessons. And God can break his own laws at any time, as al-Ghazali might say. Close to law means God enjoys the constraint and chooses, like the planets, to follow it, for his own joy. Miracles are proof that he can deviate from them at any time.
