Dear sanjaya_ganesh,
This is where normal wants and unlimited desires come into picture. It is like the English proverb, "I was yearning for shoes, till
I saw a man who had no legs."
Sri Bhagavan clarifies in Talks:
If one goes on wanting, one's wants cannot be fulfilled. Whereas if one remains desireless anything will be forthcoming. We are
not in the wife, children, profession, etc., But they are in us. They appear and disappear according to one's prarabdha.
The mind remaining still is Samadhi. No matter whether the world is perceived or not.
Environment, time and objects are all in me. How can they be independent of me? They may change, but I remain unchanging
always the same. The objects can be differentiated by means their names and forms, whereas each one's name is only one and
that is "I". Ask anyone, he says "I" and speaks of himself as "I", even if He is Iswara. His name too is "I" only.
So also of locality. As long as I am identified with the body so long as a locality is distinguishable; otherwise not. Am I the body?
Does the body announce itself as "I"?
Clearly all these are in me. All these are wiped out entirely, the residual Peace is "I". This is Samadhi, this is 'I'.

(Ulladu Narpadu - Verse 16.)
Sri Bhagavan says when the ego is lost all karmas including prarabdha are vanquished. When Dasaratha dies, all his
three wives are widows. How can one alone be a sumangali (wife with husband)?
The prarabdha is likened to an arrow that has left the bow towards the aim. The aim, is say, a cow. Only when the cow
is there, the arrow will pierce it. If the cow itself (mind body complex) is not there, where the arrow will fall? It falls on the
ground, without any effect.
