A leaf is alive today and it is dead tomorrow. Similarly, also Flower and Fruit. But as long as they live, they live with dignity. In other words, they live for the other. What do I mean by this? A leaf performs the function of releasing oxygen which is essential for the life and existence of human being. Secondly, it spends its whole life in giving shade to the other. Any living being, feeling heat of the sun, likes to take rest under the tree. The tree never refuses.
A flower also lives for a short time. But as long as it lives it attracts the human beings with its beauty and fragrance. Human being longs for the fragrance of flower. A flower in turn does not keep the fragrance for itself but it leaves out in generosity. A Fruit undergoes a process of maturing stage. A ripened fruit spends its life giving taste to the human being. It sweetens the mouth of the person who eats it.The leaf, flower and fruit never show distinction. In other words, they show equality to all people everywhere and at all times. Let the tree be the inspiration, guide and model for human life.
