Simplified Meaning:

Good behavior comes from learning good principles. For instance, if a child is taught to value honesty and kindness, they will likely grow up acting truthfully and kindly. Just like how a plant grows healthy with proper care, people act well if they are taught good values. Think about how we learn in school about being respectful - this teaches us how to treat others nicely. So, if you want to be a good person, focus on understanding and following good teachings. This way, your actions will naturally reflect those positive lessons.
