Passage 7

In English

Fruits of one's actions bound to appear sooner or later

The materialistic philosophers today speak about oneness of mankind. But how do they explain the vast and immeasurable differences among men - differences in abilities, conditions, attitudes and impulses? One is continually sick. Another is hale and hearty. One is always cheerful. Another is continuously miserable. People do not realise that these differences are the results of past (action). is the cause of everything that happens. The fruits of one's actions may not be evident immediately, but sooner or later, they are bound to appear. "I shall do this, I shall do that," Vain is this boast, Oh man, As you sow, so shall you reap, As the seed, so will the fruit be. Hence, it is only by doing good deeds can one achieve desirable results. It is for this purpose that the (sacred scriptures and eternal values) have laid down in the (actionoriented part of ) the good deeds by which beneficial results can be got.
