"By reflection (anuprekṣā), Sir, what does the soul produce?"
"By reflection, of the seven karmic natures excluding life-span, it turns those bound with tight bonds into ones bound with loose bonds; it turns those of long duration into ones of short duration; it turns those of intense fruition into ones of mild fruition; it turns those of many points of space into ones of few points of space; and as for life-span karma, it may bind it or may not bind it. It does not amass unpleasant-feeling-producing karma again and again, and swiftly crosses over the beginningless, endless, long, four-ended wilderness of the cycle of rebirth."
