If you
put a seed in the earth, it sends up a little stem. Then leaves come out of the
stem.Then
come flowers and fruits. There are seeds again in the fruits. Mango seed only
produces mango tree. If you sow rice, you cannot expect a crop of wheat. The
same sort of seed produces the same kind of plant. A human being alone is born
from the womb of a woman, a horse from a horse and a dog from a dog. Similarly, if you sow the seed of an evil
action, you will reap a harvest of pain and suffering. If you sow the seed of a
virtuous action, you will reap a harvest of pleasure. This is the result of an
action.
Whatever you sow by your actions come back to you. If you make others happy through service, charity and kind acts, you sow happiness like a seed; and it will give you the fruit of happiness. If you make others unhappy through harsh words, insult, ill-treatment, cruel acts, oppression, etc., you sow unhappiness like a seed; and it will give you the fruit of pain, suffering, misery and unhappiness. This is the immutable result of an action.
Your actions in the past are responsible for your present condition. Your present actions will shape or mold your future. There is nothing chaotic or capricious in this world. You become good by your good actions and bad by your evil actions.
If you entertain evil thoughts, you must suffer the consequences. You will be in difficulties. You will be surrounded by unfavorable circumstances. You will blame your surroundings and circumstances. Understand the law and live wisely. So always entertain noble thoughts. You will be happy always.
