6307. God's Forest

```

Advanced seekers are like tall trees;

Beginning seekers are like small plants.

Overnight a plant cannot become

As tall, powerful and beautiful

As the trees

That have been ascending heavenward

For many years,

With roots firmly in the ground

And branches aiming at the highest height.

The trees can give the plants inspiration

And aspiration.

The trees can give the plants protection

So they will not be blown away

By doubt, suspicion and other negative forces.

But only patience-light

Can turn the aspiration-plants

Into realisation-trees

In God’s Forest. ```
