![“Physical action [paudgalik kriya] will give only worldly fruits; it will not go in vain. If you plant sugar cane, you will eat sweet food and if you plant bitter gourd, you will eat bitter food. Plant whichever taste appeals to you and if you want liberation [Moksha], then don’t plant anything…” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a6e/dada-bhagwan-31_fruits_physical-action-paudgalik-kriya-will-giv_2630219.jpg)
