"Kar bhala ho bhala" which translates to "Do good, and good will come to you" is a popular Hindi proverb that means good deeds will result in good outcomes. The proverb suggests that performing good deeds, without expecting anything in return, will eventually lead to positive results in your own life. This leason in life has been taught in our family since early ages. We were taught not to harm or do any sinful acts that may have negative outcomes. Sanskrit too have its own saying in this aspect. It says ;
अवश्यं लभते कर्ता फलं पापस्य कर्मणः |
घोरं पर्यायते काले द्रुमः पुष्पमिवार्जवं ||
Avashyam labhate kartaa phalam paapasya karmanah.
Ghoram paryaayate kaale drimah pushpamivaarjavam.
Avashyam = certainly.
Labhate = receives, gets.
Kartaa = a doer.
Phalam = product, end result, fruit.
Paapasya = a sinful.
Karmanah = action, deed.
Ghoram = dreadful, frightful.
Paryaayate = extended or extremely long.
Kaale = period.
Drumah = a tree.
Pushpamivaarjavam = pushpam + iva + aarjavam.
Pushpam = flower.
Iva = like.
Aarjavam = honesty, sincerity, definitely .
i.e. If a person commits a sinful act (conduct prohibited by society and the judicial system), he will surely have to face its consequences (repercussions) sooner or later, just as a tree will surely bear flowers (and fruits) over a period of time.
The principles of Karma states that, our current actions create the karmic "seeds" for future experiences. This means that what we do today has a direct impact on what we will experience tomorrow.
Negative consequences follow sinful acts through a natural law of cause and effect, where actions that harm others and oneself ultimately result in suffering and destruction on multiple levels of existence. Avoiding sinful acts is seen as a path towards a more meaningful, peaceful, and connected life, in harmony with one's inner conscience, other people, and a higher moral or divine order.
