If concrete realizations of the supreme good are both cause and effect of the universe, the causal chain lacks an independent explanatory terminus, violating the principle of sufficient reason it invokes.

Concrete realizations(as used in metaphysics): Actual, real-world examples or instances of something abstract—the physical or actual existence of an idea, not just the idea itself.
Explanatory terminus(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): The final stopping point in an explanation—the ultimate reason or cause that doesn't need further explanation.
Principle of Sufficient Reason(Leibniz's foundational metaphysical principle underwriting the explicability of all events and phenomena.): Nothing takes place without a sufficient reason; nothing occurs for which it would be impossible for someone who has enough knowledge of things to give a reason adequate to determine why the thing is as it is and not otherwise.
Supreme Good(Anselm's ontological-axiological framework in De Casu Diaboli): The ultimate source from which all goods derive; identical with the Supreme Being.
