It is seen every day in the world that the doer reaps the fruit of his good and evil acts; that happiness results from goods deeds, and pain is the outcome of evil ones; that acts, when done, always fructify; and that, if not done, no fruit arises.
कर्मणः फलनिर्वृत्तिं स्वयमश्नाति कारकः। प्रत्यक्षं दृश्यते लोके कृतस्यापकृतस्य च॥ शुभेन कर्मणा सौख्यं दुःखं पापेन कर्मणा। कृतं फलति सर्वत्र नाकृतं भुज्यते क्वचित्॥
