"Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, 19th century Transcendental philosopher from Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
In his essay Compensation, Emerson beautifully and powerfully articulates his perception of the Hindu and Buddhist concept of "karma."
It’s pretty simple: the seeds you plant will come to fruition.
Are you planting any seeds right now you’d rather not see harvest?!?
Let’s remember to respect nature's rules and plant the seeds that’ll bear the fruit we're looking for...
