________________
world, no organization or no affluent person can give you a reward which is as grand as the one that nature confers on you. In the same manner, no authority in the world, no court or enemy can punish you as severely as nature. In short, the power of nature to either present you with a reward or to inflict a penalty is immeasurable.
Would you rather have a generous reward or a terrible penalty from nature? This decision is entirely upto you.
सव्वं पुवकयाणं, कम्माणं पाव फलविवागं ।
अवराहेसु गुणेसु य, निमित्तमित्तं परो होई ।। Meaning: In your happiness and unhappiness the other person is only an instrumental cause. Everything that one reaps,
is the fruit of one's own past karmas.
