చేలో లేనిది చేతిలోకి ఎలా వస్తుంది?
chelo lenidi chetiloki ela vastundi?
If it is not in the field, how will it come into the hand?

Just as you cannot harvest a crop that was never planted or grown in the field, you cannot obtain profit or success without initial effort, investment, or existence of the resource. It is used to point out that output depends entirely on the input.
