The external action was the same in both cases, but the motive was different. The fruit also must therefore be different.
Be righteous always and never deviate from the path of righteousness. Virtue brings its own reward, vice its own punishment. If you identify yourself with the silent witness within, you need not eat the fruit of your good or bad actions.
