पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
of) species, life, and expression of pleasure and pain.
The roots, the causes, the Samskaras being there, they again
manifest, and form the effects. The cause dying down
becomes the effect, and the effect becomes more subtle, and
becomes the cause of the next effect. The tree bears a seed,
and becomes the cause of the next tree, and so on. All our
works now, are the effects of past Samskaras. Again, these
Samskaras become the cause of future actions, and thus we go
on. So this aphorism says that the cause being there, the fruit
must come, in the form of species; one will be a man, another
an angel, another an animal, another a demon. Then there are
different effects in life; one man lives fifty years, another a
hundred, and another dies in two years, and never attains
maturity; all these differences in life are regulated by these
past actions. One man is born, as it were, for pleasure; if he
buries himself in a forest pleasure will follow him there.
Another man, wherever he goes, pain follows him, everything
becomes painful. It is all the result of their own past.
According to the philosophy of the Yogis all virtuous actions
bring pleasure, and all vicious actions bring pain. Any man
who does wicked deeds is sure to reap the fruit of them in the
form of pain.

They bear fruit as pleasure or pain, caused by virtue
or vice.
