"A seed has the potential to grow into a huge tree — that is really its nature. Ours is to evolve into pure, joyful love for God. That is our real business here."
Life runs smoothly: work, a renovation, a holiday, work again. And still something gnaws: is this really all there is? Śrī Prem Prayojan Prabhu answers on a wider scale. To be born in a human body is enormous luck, and such a life was never meant to be trivial or grimy. A seed has the potential to grow into a huge tree; that is simply its nature. And we have ours: to evolve into pure, joyful love for God and to know Him in this very life. That, he says, is our real business here, and it rests on plain daily things — prayer, study, festivals with people walking the same road; this is bhakti-yoga. To neglect it is like playing in the sandpit your whole life and never growing up.
A seed does not argue with its nature. Are you growing today?
