A great scholar knows the laws of Nature, Seeing that as you sow, so shall you also reap. There is no use praying to Heaven for your sins. You will only find redemption in righteous living.
TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION
Words are of no use without deeds to accompany them. You should try to settle the problems you have now, and (as always) kind deeds are the best way to assure a good fortune. Wealth and status are beyond your reach at the moment, but personal relationships are more favored by fate. Sickness will only pass if you seek some medical assistance.
REFLECTION
This poem seems to echo the words of Jesus. Not only did He say you reap what you sow, but He also said that those who simply prayed would not enter Heaven; only those who cared for the sick, the poor, those in prison, for example, would get there. This poem says the same. Forget religious practices and rituals, meditation or crystal gazing. Unless you live a life of service to others, how can you expect Heaven's favors?
