BHEEJAM-बीजं-SEED,GRAIN,ORIGIN

 SUBHASHITHANI:499

अल्पमपि क्षितौ क्षिप्तं वटबीजं प्रवर्धते ।
जलयोगात् यथा दानात् पुण्यवृक्षोऽपि वर्धते ॥
Alpamapi kshitau kshiptam vata beejam pravardhate I
Jalayogaat yatha daanaat punya vruksho api vardhate II
Even though the seed is very small in size, when properly watered, from that grows the mighty banyan tree. Even so, from charity grows the mighty ' punya ' tree.

काले ददाति योऽपात्रे वितीर्णं तस्य नश्यति ।

निक्षिप्तमूषरे बीजं किं कदाचिदवाप्यते ॥
Kaale dadaati yo apaatre viteernam tasya nasyati I
Nikshiptamooshare beejam kim kadaachitd avaapyate II
Benevolence shown to an undeserving person will be in vain; what can a seed sown in a barren land yield? 

ऊषरेषु च क्षेत्रेषु यथा बीजं  हि निष्फलं  |
उपकारोSपि नीचानां कृतो भवति तादृशः ||
Ushareshu cha kshetreshu yathaa beejam hi nishphalam.I
Upakaaropi neechaanaam kruto bhavati taadrushah. II
Just as in a field with saline soil it is futile to sow seeds in it (as no crop can grow on it) in the same manner any favour or help rendered to mean and wicked persons also does not produce any fruitful results.

कम॔णा मनसा वाचा परपीडां करोति यः ।
ततू बीजं जन्म फलति  प्र्भूतं तस्य चाशुभम् ॥
Karmana manasaa vaacha parapeedaam karoti ya: I
Tat bheejam janma phalati prabhutham thasya chaasubham II
One who causes violence to others by thought, word, or deed, the sin caused by it becomes the seed for the tribulations he has to undergo in the subsequent births.

अहं  ममत्येव  भवस्य बीजं  न  मे  न  चाहं भवबीजशान्तिः |
बीजे  प्रनष्टे कुत  एव जन्मः निरिन्धनो वह्निरुपैतिशान्तिः ||
Aham mamatyeva bhavasya beejam na mey na chaaham bhavabeejashaantih.
Beeje pranashte kuta eva janmah nirindhano vahnirupaiti shaantih.
Feeling “I and mine” are the seeds for re-birth. “not I, not mine “feeling gives liberation.  Just as fire gets extinguished if there is no fuel, if the seed is burnt, how can there be punar janma? 

 नाबीजं जायते किं चिन न बीजेन विना फलम I
 बीजाद बीजं परभवति बीजाद एव फलं समृतम IIMahabharatham
nābījaṃ jāyate kiṃ cith na bījena vinā phalam I
bījād bījaṃ prabhavati bījād eva phalaṃ smṛutam II
With out the seed nothing can sprout, there is no fruit with out the seed; seed is produced from seed.

यादृशं वपते बीजं क्षेत्रमासाद्य कर्षकः ।
सुकृते दुष्कृते वाऽपि तादृशं लभते फलम् ।।५।।
yādṛśaṃ vapate bījaṃ kṣetram āsādya karṣakaḥ
sukṛte duṣkṛte vāpi tādṛśaṃ labhate phalam
Just as a farmer  harvests whatever he sows in his farm, it is the same with good and bad actions; good or bad results are according one’s own actions.

 यथा बीजं विना क्षेत्रम् उप्तं भवति निष्फलम I
 तथा पुरुषकारेण विना दैवं न सिध्यति IIMahabharatham
 yathā bījaṃ vinā kṣetram uptaṃ bhavati niṣphalam I
 tathā puruṣakāreṇa vinā daivaṃ na sidhyati II
With out a good seed sowing in field will yield no result, similarly with out self-effort depending purely on providence will not succeed.

यच्चापि सर्वभूतानां बीजं तदहमर्जुन |
न तदस्ति विना यत्स्यान्मया भूतं चराचरम् || BG 10.39||
yach chāpi sarva-bhūtānāṁ bījaṁ tad aham arjuna
na tad asti vinā yat syān mayā bhūtaṁ charācharam
I am the generating seed of all living beings, O Arjun. No creature moving or non-moving can exist without me.
