"Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs."- Sri Chaitanya
O Ignorance! I want to be the tree of compassion.
O Man! I want to be the tree of forgiveness.
O Skies! I want to be the tree of aspiration.
O Earth! I want to be the tree of patience.
Sri Chinmoy, Meditations: food for the soul, Aum Centre, New York, 1970
