What it means
Your reputation and your results grow from the same seed: your actions. You can't plant one thing and harvest another. Choose what you want to reap, then sow accordingly.हिंदी में अर्थ
बुरा करने वाला बदनामी पाता है और बुरा ही फल भोगता है। अच्छा करने वाला सुनाम पाता है और अच्छा ही फल भोगता है।
आपकी साख और आपके नतीजे एक ही बीज से उगते हैं — आपके कर्म। जो काटना चाहते हैं, वही बोइए।
