came the first farmer - "Atmavadi" told the second farmer "Please come and let us plough the field." The second one replied that he trusted in God- His kindness would solve all their working problems and every thing would be set right; why should they worry? The first farmer, who believed in doing, ploughed his field and sowed different kinds of grains like Bajri Moong Moth and then took complete care and looked after the ploughed fields well. After due time, all the grain plants were grown up and he reaped a good harvest of different grains, he had sowed. But the second farmer, who was lazy and sat idle depending on luck or fate only, could not get any harvest from his field because he failed to plough it well in time in rainy season. Conclusion is that As we sow, so we reap-What ever may be our actions, we shall have to bear their consequences, Here the author advises all the learned and wise people that they should be alert in doing their duty. "Trust on the action done and get the success accordingly."

But due to our mis-belief that nothing can be achieved without deceit and telling a lie, our all efforts and actions start functioning on this faith unknowingly or suddenly and our knowledge, too, starts thinking in the same direction. Hence the necessity is to develop and strengthen our faith first, if we want to channelise our knowledge and action in right direction Because, as is said
विद्यावृतस्य सम्भूतिस्थिति-वृद्धि- फलोदयाः ।
न सन्त्यसति सम्यक्त्वे, बीजाभावे तरोरिव ॥३२॥
