Prārabdha karma produces on its own certain objects that cause pleasure and pain, such as the rising of the moon, darkness, and the like, but others, such as houses and fields, through the agency of human effort. Among those, the rising of the moon and the like cease only through absorption, characterized by the complete withdrawal of the senses and so forth, not otherwise. But houses and the like cease even without absorption. Feeding is gathering, [namely] effort. For one free from effort, objects such as houses cease, but relish does not cease. Relish is mental craving. Even that ceases from the causes of petty happiness upon seeing the supreme Brahman, which is of the nature of supreme bliss, because of the Vedic text: "What shall we do with offspring, we whose Self is this world?" (in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.4.22) / "For even of a striving, wise person, O son of Kuntī, / the turbulent senses forcibly carry away the mind."
