न बीजाङ्कुरयोर्भेदो विद्यतेऽग्न्यौष्ण्ययोरिव ।
बीजमेवाङ्कुरं विद्धि विद्धि कर्मैव मानवम् ॥ १५ ॥

na bījāṅkurayorbhedo vidyate'gnyauṣṇyayoriva |
bījamevāṅkuraṃ viddhi viddhi karmaiva mānavam || 15 ||

There is no difference between the seed and its sprout, as there is no distinction of the heat from fire; and as you find the identity of the seed and its sprout, so must you know the identity of man with his acts.
