Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 7.15.46
"Otherwise, if one does not take shelter of Acyuta and Baladeva, then the senses, acting as the horses, and the intelligence, acting as the driver, both being prone to material contamination, inattentively bring the body, which acts as the chariot, to the path of sense gratification. When one is thus attracted again by the rogues of viṣaya — eating, sleeping and mating — the horses and chariot driver are thrown into the blinding dark well of material existence, and one is again put into a dangerous and extremely fearful situation of repeated birth and death." https://vedy.online/en/sb7/15/46

These results exceed the devotee’s expectations." https://vedy.online/en/sb8/5/47
