What it means
You do not have to wait for another life to see karma. Within one lifetime, our choices circle back. Every phase can feel like a new life — so make today's actions ones you will be glad to meet.हिंदी में अर्थ
अपने ही कर्मों की लड़ी से समय पर लौटकर आने वाले अच्छे-बुरे फल मैंने इसी जीवन में देख लिए — मेरी बदलती हालतें मानो अलग-अलग जन्म थीं।
कर्मफल देखने के लिए दूसरे जन्म की ज़रूरत नहीं। इसी जीवन में हमारे फ़ैसले लौटकर आते हैं। आज ऐसा करो जिससे कल मिलकर ख़ुशी हो।
