Saints
Earth
contains so many elements and minerals, our crops grow in it. It gives
sugarcane its sweet juice, and the pomegranates their deep red color
and pearly seeds. Just think how many types of fruits exist, with an
outside skin and inner seed or stone. How has Nature made all these
things? Grass and hay come from the earth. Cows eat this and produce
milk, which we turn into butter then ghee for cooking delicious sweets
and pastries. What good things the earth produces - not for itself, but
for you and me. Mountains, trees, rivers, earth and saints are described
as selfless. Saints are the best of all. They dedicate themselves to
serving others by showing them the way to salvation. It is written that
even greater than Rama is the devotee of Rama. God is the ocean while
saints are the clouds which carry its moisture. God is the sandalwood
tree whose fragrance is carried by the breeze of the saints.
