Your heart is like the ocean into which thousands of rivers pour without overflowing.

Your mind is like the clear sky, endless and free, raised high above this world.

Your being is like the tree that gives its shade, and yields sweet fruit to all.

The tree does not cling to its fruit, nor withholds them from those who throw stones.

Like your heart, the tree offers its fruit to all, no matter into whose hands they fall.

~Paramahansa Swami Maheshwarananda
