Trees are Mahayogis
Krishn states in the Bhagwad Gita, 'I am Peepal among trees.' Trees are mahayogis. As an evolved human spreads divine aura, joy and peace, so do trees. The moment it sprouts from earth, it spreads its arms - branches - towards the sky to receive all energies, head held high to get connected to universal life force for growth, yet rooted on earth. It flows with natural forces, making itself stronger, taller and beautiful.
Trees always give just like the rest of Nature, teaching and reminding us that giving is the law of nature. If we imbibe this, it will make the atmosphere pleasant and congenial for growth. Tree is a guru and reflection of the Supreme Provider. It is the provider of bounties that are required for our healthy and natural survival. That is why a tree is never ugly; it reflects what it is to be alive, without enforcing anything or being a doer. It is alive till the last moment; and even when it perishes, every part of the tree is of great value. A tree imparts manure to earth and its roots provide shelter to underground insects that nourish the soil.
No matter how much a person plucks its leaves and scratches its bark, the tree never retaliates. It continues to be patient and does its karm. Trees are a source of livelihood to so many, those who are involved in planting and nurturing of orchards and farmlands, taking care of the creepers, fruit and vegetables, transporting and selling them. This inspires us to serve Nature, which, in turn, will enhance the whole environment. World Environment Day is on June 5, 2025
