My dad always used to say that, what we do, we will face repercussion some day or the other. That is he always insists to do deeds in best possible way. Neither to hurt anyone nor to create nuisance for others. Infavt by doing good things in life, we feel a different level of satisfaction.
In today's sanskrit teaching, the scholar wanted to convey the same message.
आत्मापराधवृक्षस्य फलान्येतानि देहिनाम्|
दारिद्र्यदुःखरोगाणि बन्धनव्यसनानि च||
Aatmaaparaadha-vrukshasya phalaanyetaani Dehinaam.
Daaridrya-duhkha-rogaani Bandhana-vyasanaani cha.
Aatmaaparaadha + vrukshasya. Aatmaaparaadha = one's own offences. Vrukshasya = tree's
Phaalaani + etaani.
Phalaani = fruits / end results.
Etaaani = these.
Dehinaam = Man, living beings.
Daaridrya = poverty.
Duhkha = sorrow, miseries.
Rogaani = diseases.
Bandhana = imprisonmnt.
Vyasanaani = various types of addictions. Cha = and.
There is an old English saying, we get, what we sow. the aithor states that "The deeds of offences is like a tree which is done by a person himself ultimately produces fruits in the form of poverty, miseries, various diseases, imprisonment and various addictions."
The scholar wanted to send out a message that the deeds done by a person have been compared to planting of trees and their results to the fruits produced by the trees. Good deeds done ultimately result in happiness and welfare whereas any
wrong doings result in miseries, diseases and other bad influences in life.
