>Theses are intern relations IN God
There is still a causality, be it in our out of God. Th Son is divine so He doesn't go out, or in, in any other place than that of the Father, since he is completely equal to the infinite and absolute Father.
>God is simple and uncaused
According to the christian tradition His simplicity comes from the fact the Trinity as only One cause/origin : the Father.
In Satchidananda, the three are in affixing with Brahman

It's a perfect causality. The concept of causality doesn't imply imperfection. The Christ is the perfect Image of the Father, God from God (from signify a causality or origin).
I don't know what to quote to you, if the creed is not enough.
>Col 1: 15-16 "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities...."

>"In saying that the Father is principle and greater than the Son, we do not intend to show that he is before the Son in time or by nature (it is through him that he has made the centuries); he is this because he is the cause and only for this, that is to say that the Son is begotten of the Father and not the Father of the Son, and that thus the Father by nature is the cause of the Son. Just as light comes from the flame, without the flame preceding the light in time – it is impossible for there to be a flame without light, but the flame is the principle and cause of the light that proceeds from it – so too the Father is the principle and cause of the Word and of the Spirit, for the Word and the Spirit come from the Father, without the Father preceding them in time." Saint John Damascene, Of the Orthodox Faith, 1, 8

>"In a word: the Divinity is indistinctly in distinct persons and there is only one light, as it would be of three suns that would stand in each other. Therefore when we consider the First Cause, the Monarchy [the Father], what we grasp is the One; but when we consider the Hypostases in which the Divinity subsists, Those who hold their eternal being and glory equal to the First Cause then we worship Three as God" Saint Gregory of Nazianzus the theologian. Against Eunominus, first book.
