Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Fruits of action are of two types. 1. That which we experience in this world (Iha loka phala) and 2. That which we experience in the other world (Para loka phala or Amutra phala). The fruits of action and the experiencing of those fruits in this world are dependent on the effort we put in. If one works hard in the fields, one gets good harvest. But the fruits of action, like the grains that one grows, will be spent after some time. To replenish it, one will have to work hard again. Happiness in the other world also depends upon the amount of merit earned by us in this world. More the effort, more the merit and more the happiness. With more and more effort, one might become eligible to go to Vaikuntha or Kailasa or Brahma loka. But it must be remembered that even this merit is like a bag of grains. It will be exhausted sooner or later."
