Bhagavatapurana 4.29.31

4.29.31

tathā kāmāśayo jīva uccāvaca-pathā bhraman /
upary adho vā madhye vā yāti diṣṭaṃ priyāpriyam //

30—31. Like a hungry dog which goes from door to door to receive a stroke or a morsel of food as ordained by destiny, the Jīva with his heart full of desires wanders through ways high and low, above, below, or in the middle, reaping, as destined, pleasure or pain.
