Nagasena's fire analogy attempts to justify a multiple-life scenario of some sort. The approach dooms any results it might produce.

I am not sure what you are getting at with claim a about fire.

If you stand nrear enough to something that is burning hot enough, you will catch fire. The first fire contributes to the arising of the second.

But it is an overly simplistic analogy to begin with. And equivocal. The famous "Atman that is not an Atman".
