A lot of
Saints describe the beautiful analogy of human life with a tree. When we look
around, we find that there are people who are strong and stay steady in all the
circumstances of life. Those are the people who also contribute to the welfare
of others and the society as a whole. While there are others who are flimsy and
emotional. They can be shattered by minor adversities. They always seek help of
others.
Let’s see
the similarities between a tree and the human life. The strength and sturdiness
of a tree is dependent on the depth of its roots. Deeper are the roots,
healthier is the tree. Roots symbolizes the spiritual depth of a being. One who
remains in solitude for a few moments on regular basis while contemplating on
the Self. One who meditates on the inner realms while enjoying the bliss and
peacefulness of the consciousness, surely has deep and strong roots. The
superficial people, who remains distant from the spiritual Truth, who are
always restless while seeking the momentary pleasures of the world, have very
shallow roots.
