निमित्तमप्रयोजकं‌ ‌प्रकृतीनां‌ ‌वरणभे‌दस्तु ‌ततः‌ ‌क्षेत्रिकवत्‌ ॥४-३॥

sanskrit

Good deeds, etc. are not the direct causes in the changes of nature, but they act as breakers of obstacles to the evolutions of nature. This is like a farmer breaking down the barrier to let the water flow which then runs down by its own nature.
