When
a farmer sows seeds. Some seeds get eaten by birds even before they can
germinate. Some are scattered here and there and don't get enough water
or fertilizer. They grow a little then no further. But those seeds
which get enough water, good soil and fertilizer at the right times are
the ones which produce the best crops. A tiny seed turns into a shoot
then a strong plant or a mighty tree, providing cereals or fruit. We
have to become like this type of seed. A devotee needs the showers of
satsang. If he doesn't do meditation and service, he will not achieve self-realization. If he doesn't do service, he cannot be called a
devotee. He must be sincere, and if he serves the Master sincerely in
thought, word and deed, he will succeed.
