Expansion of Idea — As you sow, so shall you reap

Illustration of the proverb — good begets good & evil begets evil — decide what you want from life & act accordingly.

If a farmer desires to reap a harvest of wheat, he sows wheat; if he wants rice, he sows rice. What should we think of him if he planted wheat & expected to harvest rice; or the other way round? We would certainly consider him a mentally unsound person. The law of nature tells us that we must sow what we wish to reap. If we sow nothing, we shall reap nothing.

So it is with life. We have always to bear the consequences of our actions. If we perform good deeds, we shall be rewarded with good. If we perform bad deeds, we shall live lives of misery & wretchedness. You cannot achieve fair ends by using foul means. Even if you do, it will be short — lived. Lasting peace cannot be brought about by violent means. Good always triumphs over evil.

Man can decide his own future by his present deeds. If he sows the seeds of vice, corruption & sin, he reaps the harvest of misery & ruin. If he plants virtue, purity & goodness, he plucks the golden fruit of success & happiness. If we want to achieve good, we should do good, for as we sow, so shall we reap.
