Plant the seeds of Love in your hearts. Let them grow into trees of Service and shower the sweet fruit of Ananda. Share the Ananda with all. That is the proper way to celebrate the Birthday.
WITHOUT the flowers, the plant yields no fruit. Without the emerging fruit, ripeness cannot happen.
DETACHMENT is a plant of slow growth; if you pluck the tender plant to look for the pods, you will be disappointed.
Each one of you has struggled upward from the stone to a plant, From the plant to an animal, From the animal to a man,Do not slide into an animal.
