The theory is applicable in case of ignorant only where feeling of doership is there. This does not apply on enlightened ones as there is no question of doing on their part.
There are a no of thoughts/desires continuously appearing/coming in the mind but most of them remain unfulfilled. There are two types of desires. First is essential desires i.e. need based (food, water, air and sleep) and other is non-essential i.e. luxurious. The desires related to need once fulfilled, one get/find himself free from that. But that is not the case with luxurious desires. Again luxurious desires are of two types. The desires related to outer things (except food, water, air and sleep) and can still be fulfilled depending upon the resources. But the other one which is the ultimate luxurious desire related to religion/ God/ spirituality can never be fulfilled. The fulfillment of a particular desire depends upon fulfillment of a no. of factors/favourable circumstances. But most of them(factors) are either unknown (hence not in our control) and even if they are known most of them are not in our control.
But once a desire wells up in the mind an amount of energy is consumed for its creation. It remains in a corner of mind as long as it is not fulfilled in totality. Its impression gets annihilated only when it is fulfilled in totality. As most of them remain unfulfilled they get stuck in the energy body and are known as knots or granthies(bandhan). This is called being entangled in karma(Karmo ka bandhan). These knots are being regularly produced(except in sleep sate) due to our unawareness to the happening of these things inside. They are not produced in case of enlightened ones as they are fully aware/alert. Prarabdha is such accumulated bandhans (granthies) energy before their enlightenment happened. So they have to be git cleared of those granthies but feeling of doership has gone in them. Hence they suffer as per our point of view.
Hence in my view the explanation of the karma theory in common parlance is quite a misunderstood explanation.
