There Is Karmic Fruit but No Doer

The Saṃyuktāgama: "There is karmic fruit but no doer. These aggregates cease; different aggregates continue." Karmic results are real, but no permanent self travels between them. One set of aggregates ends; another arises — like passing a candle flame. What connects cause and fruit? Yogācāra's answer: seeds.
