Three times what thou givest returns to thee

This lesson well, thou must learn,

The only gets what thou dost earn! "

It basically means that what you do comes back to you three times as intense. If you do good, it will be returned to you three times as that which you have done. The same goes for bad or ill-meaning actions. The Threefold Law works with the concept of karma. Karma is the accumulation of your actions and those returned to you as a result of your actions. Not everything that happens is due to karma though. Some things just happen, for their own reason.
