My dear King! If a field is cultivated again and again, it becomes barren and unsuitable for germinating seeds. Whatever seeds are sown there are lost. Just as small drops of ghee on a fire never extinguish the fire but a flood of ghee will extinguish the fire, similarly, by excessive indulgence in lusty desires, the heart may become detached from such desires entirely. Because it is impossible for a person with excessive material desires to give up desires by the rules of the Vedas, rather than forbid all enjoyment, one is allowed to enjoy with an honest heart, and detachment will take place eventually. Examples are Yayati and Saubhari. An example is given in two verses. After much cultivation sometimes the field is not suitable for germinating seeds any more. Sometimes, the seeds which are planted are destroyed by the acidic soil. The heart in which desire resides in abundance (kāma āśaya) as various impressions gradually becomes detached. Just as a blazing fire is not reduced by adding drops of ghee, but is extinguished by pouring a huge quantity of ghee on it, so by indulging in a huge amount of enjoyment desire is extinguished.
