Karma’s Non-Extinction, Jīva’s Entry into the Embryo, and Instruction on Conduct-Dharma
यथा प्रसूयमानस्तु फली दद्यात् फलं बहु । तथा स्याद् विपुलं पुण्यं शुद्धेन मनसा कृतम्
yathā prasūyamānas tu phalī dadyāt phalaṃ bahu | tathā syād vipulaṃ puṇyaṃ śuddhena manasā kṛtam ||
Seperti pokok yang berbuah, apabila tiba musimnya, ia mengeluarkan banyak buah; demikian juga pahala kebajikan (puṇya) yang dilakukan dengan hati yang suci menjadi amat berlimpah hasilnya.
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Merit grows in proportion to inner purity: actions done with a clean, sincere mind yield far greater ethical and spiritual results, just as a tree in season produces abundant fruit.
A Brahmin speaker uses a simple agrarian simile—fruiting season and a fruit tree—to instruct listeners that the quality of the mind behind an act determines the magnitude of its moral fruit (phala).
