If the language in the harvest karma can explained this way, if someone sow good seeds they will reap good harvest. If someone sows bad seeds they will read bad harvest. In the language of science, kamma is explained the law of cause and the effect: every cause has an effect. There is another name law of moral causation.
In the Dhammapada, kamma is explained in this matter: mind is the chief for all good and bad states. If someone speaks or act with a bright heart happiness follow them like a shadow that their shadow which never leaves. On other hand if someone speak or act with a corrupted heart then suffering follow them as a wheel of the cart, the track of the ox that pulls it.
