Just imagine...if trees charged us for the oxygen they made or the fruits we plucked… what scope did we have to survive?! We would be literally begging from them. Every time I look at a tree I am left spellbound by its selflessness. It gives and it gives and it gives, with no expectation whatsoever of the returns. You would ask, in this world of today, how is it possible to give and expect nothing. Well, I said ‘expect nothing’, I didn’t say you should forsake the results. The results will come. But let us not work only for the sake of the results, let us work for the sake of work. That is the smartest way of working. Of course, we should be aware of the desired result, but we should be smart enough not to make the fruit of action our motive because focussing on the result reduces our efficiency, productivity and creativity. It is only in selflessness that great benefits are achieved. The results will surely follow our actions for it is one of the basic laws of nature that every action will have its corresponding output. So, let’s learn from the humble tree and be good for goodness sake!
