از مکافات عمل غافل مشو، گندم از گندم بروید جو ز جو
az mokafat-e amal ghafel masho, gandom az gandom beruyad jo ze jo
Reap what you sow
意味
Do not ignore the consequences of your actions; good deeds yield good results, bad deeds bad.
文化的背景
This proverb is a gateway to Rumi's philosophy. Iranians often quote poetry in daily life to add weight and authority to their words. Wheat (Gandom) is sacred in Iranian culture, symbolizing life and blessing (Barakat). Barley (Jo) is seen as less valuable, often used for livestock. The concept of 'Mokafat' is central to Sufi ethics, suggesting that the 'Self' is a mirror reflecting its own deeds back to itself. Many Iranian films (like those of Asghar Farhadi) explore the themes of this proverb—how a small lie or action 'grows' into a massive consequence.
