What it means

When you receive something as a gift or a blessing, you thank your ancestral spirits; but to obtain something you want for yourself, you must earn it through your own effort and labour.

Word for word

Whatever you get from a forest (of wild fruit trees) is by luck; what you are invited (to take) is given by the mudzimu.
