This is the same in voluntary acts...

This is the same in voluntary acts; therefore, intelligence is not in the least related to the realization of the result and its relationship with the act or agent. Even though we name this issue “motive”, which occurs in respect to the actions of living intelligent individuals with free will and refrain from using this term for other natural acts, instead using “result” or figuratively utilizing the term “motive”, the end result is the same in both terms.

What a natural agent does in the dark recesses of nature, a living human may do using the light of intellect without a change in the aforementioned relationships. Hence, “motive” is common to all elements of the world of creation and as long as it rules over all general laws, such as the law of causality, no act will be performed without aim and no agent is free of a purpose and ideal.

All beings of every kind, whether human, insect, apple tree, wheat, hunk of iron, molecule of oxygen, and so on, adapt to the external environment using their active faculties, harmonize with active elements in their environment, and perform specific actions in order to achieve their evolutional or useful aims.

When this specific action is completed, it is substituted with the result of the action, the natural or intentional desire is fulfilled, and the perfection it sought is annexed to its being. General types that exist all over the world, such as humans, horses, apple trees, etc. are the same. With the specific acts of their type, they strive to achieve their aims and ideals and by achieving them, they remedy their genetic faults and keep on existing.

This same thing can be said of the entirety of world components, among which an indubitable relationship exists. Basically, any movement that occurs has a direction. This movement is always intermediary and joins one thing or direction to the other. The direction desired by the object is the result and motive that completes the deficiency and aspiration of the agent. When it is achieved, movement ceases. That is, it gains a static state in relation to its previous state.

Even though on a different perspective, this static state is a new movement that aims at a new result and motive. We cannot imagine the realization of a movement that does not have a direction or that has a direction but the “direction” has no relationship with the movement and is realized solely through happenstance. Or that a force creates movement without being causally related to it.
