I consider you a successful gardener,

Even if one seed germinates to become a plant.

I do not look for quantity.

I look for your quality of devotion.

When one seed germinates into a plant,

You know that this plant one day

Will also become a big tree.

The tree will give a lot more seeds.

And one day, you will be given a chance

To germinate these seeds once again.

Do not be in a rush

To sow different kinds of seeds

Together, in one season.

Nurture one plant at a given time.

Give it all your love and care.

And to your surprise,

One day you will find

A beautiful garden has emerged.

And each plant in it is healthy and strong.

Each plant has spread its roots,

And established its domain.

The seed is devotion.

The roots are your faith.

And the healthy plant is the awakened soul.

 

 From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan

June 4

When plantains and mangoes are still green, they are stored in straw in a 
closed, warm room so that the heat may make them ripe and tasty.  Meditation on 
God will give you the right temperature to ripen yourselves so that you become 
sweet and tasty.
