Today is the tree day. It reminds me about the tree story and I.I still have a tree in Bihar Yoga University and someone is taking are of me now still.
When I studied the Yogic Study Program in Munger, Bihar, India, volunteer can have a personal tree to take care of.
There was only one requirement, tree own needed to do one thing at least per day for your own tree.
It started the relationship between me and my tree.
My tree is a "lychee" tree and it is right next to Swamiji's personal temple.
These were some special relationship between my tree and I.
1. I tried to meditation under my tree like Buddha and it turned out I got musquito attached under the tree. I didn't concentrate totally and scare to sit on any insect or ants...
2. I lighted the insence, sang songs and talked to the tree daily.
3. I watered the tree daily and followed the clockwise direction few days a day.
Since I had a tree, I started to feel very close to nature and tree.
My tree in Ashram is a strong connection between me and myself, me and the nature itself.
We shall celebrate, respect and appreciate nature.
If we can't appreciate the nature, we couldn't appreciate our life and not to mention ourself.
Next time when you pass by a tree, try to talk to them and look at the beauty itself!
Just as you're the beauty itself!
Cheers!
p.s. I do appreciate that someone in the Ashram still is taking care of my tree.
