When people plant a lemon tree, how is it nurtured?
Through the elements of earth, air, light and sky.
Do these nourishing elements have a sour taste in them?
Do they have tart juices in them?
No. But where did the
tartness in the lemon come from? And
where did the bitterness in each and every leaf and branch of the neem
tree growing next to the lemon tree come from?
Both the trees are nourished by the same five elements, they both
get equal amount of nourishment. Was the water bitter? No, so where did
the differences come from? The
bitterness and the tartness were inherent in the seed of each tree and
thus the corresponding fruits. The
seed of the banyan tree is even smaller than a mustard seed and yet how
vast is the tree born from it. The
entire banyan tree with its leaves, branches and aerial roots exists as
potential energy in a subtle form in its seed. Vyavasthit shakti brings
together the appropriate environment and circumstances and the resulting
banyan tree is due to it’s own inherent prakrut attributes.
