THE TREE’S ELOQUENT SILENCE the sunlight. This strategy worked. The whole of nature came to its help, and after some months, it gained its lost greenery again. it is the lesson i learned from my spiritual tree. no protest, complaint, demand, street activism, or stage activism: simply trust your natural abilities and work silently. Try to re-shape your destiny. soon, you will be glad to discover that you have regained your life. What is a tree? a tree is an illustration of nature. nature tells us of its scheme through trees—that after every winter, a new spring will follow. What is needed is only to discover yourself, to discover your potential. discover the opportunities around you, and then avail yourself of all these opportunities by silent planning. My spiritual tree creates no noise, no problems, and no unwanted situations. These are the secrets of a green tree. This is also the secret of human life. adopt the tree culture, and you will be a good member of your society, just like a tree which is a good ‘member’ of its garden. Moreover, my spiritual tree has never asked me for anything. it has never sent any bills to my office. however, it gives me pleasant scenery, shade, green branches, fresh oxygen, flowers, etc. it also provides a perch for chirping birds, who give me much pleasure with their beautiful songs. This is the culture of my spiritual tree. it silently gives me a message: ‘o man! adopt my culture, and you will become a fitting ornament of the garden of the universe.’
