56. Actions (karma) and experiences (vedanā) are indeed triumphant. Through these, the natural elements (prakṛti's constituents), having manifested in their current forms, and even through bodily afflictions (śarīradāha) and the paths of unchangeable consciousness, (the Self) has remained absorbed (metaphorically, slept) in its true nature as Brahman (brahman) itself.
