The mind, body and speech are effective. They are effective at birth.  They are even effective in the womb. How are they effective? If someone were to insult you in the morning, then even in the late hours of the night you will not be able to sleep because of the effect on you.  The effect of speech is obvious. Say if you were to curse someone, the other person would react immediately. And lastly, this body too is effective. It feels cold when it gets cold and hot when it gets hot. It is effective from birth. A new born baby will start crying if it is cold and when you wrap it up in a blanket, it will stop crying.  If you put something sweet in its mouth, the baby will start licking its lips and will grimace if you put something bitter in its mouth. These are all simply effects.  Even in the womb the baby shows the effects. If there is an effect, there has to be a cause.  And if there is a cause, there will be an effect. This way the cycle of cause and effect, effect and cause continues.
