Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3/Verse 14

अन्नाद्भवन्ति भूतानि पर्जन्यादन्नसम्भवः ।
यज्ञाद्भवति पर्जन्यो यज्ञः कर्मसमुद्भवः ॥३- १४॥

annādbhavanti bhūtāni parjanyādannasambhavaḥ ।

yajñādbhavati parjanyo yajñaḥ karmasamudbhavaḥ ॥3- 14॥

Beings exist from sustenance. The production of food is from the rain. Rain exists from devotion. Devotion is produced from action.
