Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As you act, so it returns to you. You eat what you plant.
Someone may pile praise on themselves, but you still travel the road your own understanding builds.
What you plant is what you harvest.
Jaisaa karay so taisaa paavai — as you act, so you receive. Aap beej aapay hee khaavai — you eat what you yourself plant. This is karma in plain farming words, and children know the word. Plant tomatoes, and you get tomatoes.
Praising yourself changes nothing. Jayhee surat tayhai raahi jaa-ay — as your understanding is, so is the road you walk. Surat means your inner attention, where your mind is pointed. The way you face inside quietly builds the path under your feet.
What is a small good habit you are planting now that might grow into something later?
