Karma Sutra

Now as a woman is like this or like that,
according as she acts and according as she behaves, so will she be;
a woman of good acts will become good, a woman of bad acts, bad;
she becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds;

And here they say that a person consists of desires,
and as is her desire, so is her will;
and as is her will, so is her deed;
and whatever deed she does, that she will reap.

Whatever bad deeds she reaps, she will not do
and as she does not, by her will;
and her desire will follow;
and whatever she desires, that she will reap.

– Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, with mods by me.
