A TREE IS OUR LIFE - RaVai
Trees are our closest relatives.
What they exhale, we inhale. What we exhale (carbon dioxide), they inhale.
Indeed trees keep our life going, just like the outer parts of our lungs. We cannot ignore our body if we want to live, and in no way is the planet different from this. What we call 'our body ' is just a piece of this planet. And the very essence of the spiritual process is about just this.
When we say 'spirituality', we don't talk about looking up or looking down.
It is about turning inward and knowing the nature of what 'this' is. The first fundamental fact of looking inward is always to see that we are naturally very much a part of everything surrounding us.
Without this realisation, there is no spiritual evolution. What we are or what we think we are but a part of everything else is spirituality. The spiritual process is about enhancing one's perception and bringing this into one's experience. Of what use is scientific fact if it doesn't change man's life.
Planting tree is not a project. It's our life, an outside part of ourselves.
It breathes for us everyday and it is more than our lungs and we cannot breathe without trees which we need tell our brethens in simple way.
