Apurva: The Invisible Link Between Rituals and Results

Apurva, in the Purva Mimamsa school of philosophy, refers to an unseen force generated by action, especially ritual actions. This force exists from the moment an action begins until its result is achieved, acting as the invisible link between the two. The concept of apurva explains how actions, particularly karmic or ritualistic ones, yield their intended outcomes, even when the results manifest much later. It underscores the continuity between effort and consequence, providing a philosophical basis for the workings of karma and ritual efficacy.
