As you sow, So shall you reap!

Our actions and deeds are alike seeds. If one sows seeds of grasses, one shall harvest the crop of grass and not a cereal crop like wheat or rice. He has to sow seeds of wheat or rice to harvest the grain or cereal crop. Law of the Karma stipulates if a person is spreading happiness through charity and kind it means he is sowing the seeds of happiness that will produce the fruits of happiness. This simply means that good things happen to those who do good work and bad things happen to people who indulge in doing bad things always in their lives

If you sow honesty, you will reap trust.
If you sow 
goodness, you will reap friends.
If you sow 
humility, you will reap greatness.
If you sow 
perseverance, you will reap victory.
If you sow 
consideration, you will reap harmony.
If you sow 
hard work, you will reap success.
If you sow 
forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.
If you sow 
openness, you will reap intimacy.
If you sow 
patience, you will reap improvements.
If you sow 
faith, you will reap miracles.

But

If you sow dishonesty, you will reap distrust.
If you sow 
selfishness, you will reap loneliness.
If you sow 
pride, you will reap destruction.
If you sow 
jealousy, you will reap trouble.
If you sow 
laziness, you will reap stagnation.
If you sow 
bitterness, you will reap isolation.
If you sow 
greed, you will reap loss.
If you sow 
gossip, you will reap enemies.
If you sow 
worries, you will reap wrinkles.
If you sow 
sin, you will reap guilt.

A small story which beautifully illustrates that what you sow, you reap. You will get the fruits as per your karma.

"Once upon a time there was a small time business man from a small village who used to sell butter in the nearby town. A big shop owner in the town was his regular customer.
The villager used to deliver every month the shop owner the required butter in 1 Kg. Blocks and in turn he used to get grocery items like sugar, pulses etc from the big shop owner.

Once the shop owner decided to weigh the butter and to his surprise every block of butter weighed 900 gms. instead of 1kg.

Next month when the villager came to supply Butter, the shop owner was very angry at him and told to leave the shop, to this the villager replied him courteously " Sir, I am a very poor villager, I don't have enough money to even buy the required weights for weighing the butter, I usually put the 1Kg sugar you give me on one side of Weighing scale and weigh butter on another side"

This simple story very beautifully illustrates that what we give to others comes back to us. -

Share with your friends and sow the seed of awareness…
