What it means
Much of our suffering grows from seeds we planted ourselves. Instead of blaming the world, look honestly at your choices. That is painful, but it is also where real change begins.हिंदी में अर्थ
लालसा, शोक, संताप, बंधन और विपत्तियाँ — ये सब मनुष्य के अपने ही अपराध रूपी पेड़ों के फल हैं।
हमारे ज़्यादातर दुख हमारे ही बोए बीजों से उगते हैं। दुनिया को दोष देने के बजाय अपने फ़ैसलों को ईमानदारी से देखो।
Spoken by Narayana Pandit.
