Mahabharata 13.7.23 meaning
achodyamanani yatha pushpani cha phalani cha
svakalam nativartante tatha karma purakritam
अचोद्यमानानि यथा पुष्पाणि च फलानि च।
स्वकालं नातिवर्तन्ते तथा कर्म पुराकृतम्॥
Just as flowers and fruits, without anyone urging them, never miss their proper season, so deeds done in the past come to fruit in their own time.
What it means
Results do not always arrive on your schedule, but they arrive. Good effort that seems ignored now may bloom later. Keep planting, and trust that seasons turn without needing to be pushed.हिंदी में अर्थ
जैसे फूल और फल बिना किसी के कहे अपना समय नहीं छोड़ते, वैसे ही पहले किए कर्म अपने समय पर फल देते हैं।
फल हमेशा हमारे हिसाब से नहीं आते, पर आते ज़रूर हैं। जो मेहनत अभी अनदेखी लगती है, वह बाद में खिल सकती है। बोते रहो और ऋतुओं पर भरोसा रखो।
Spoken by Bhishma.
