http://www.speakingtree.in/public/spiritual-blogs/seekers/self-improvement/motivational-lessons-from-trees



Nature is the biggest patron for mankind and also a great master. Environment in its full blossom imbibed with shades, splendor, glow, resonance, and movements that we see in the nature is incredible. Is it possible for any of us to have a replica of it factory made????? No, one and only Absolute has the ability to bestow it to our benefit. He has emanated into every thing for a purpose whether it is a tree, mountain, rock, sand, an animal, or an individual. We have to only go into deep contemplation to know the purpose and live to His expectations.   


Nature is the best teacher it provides us lots and lots to learn. Animals and birds are inspiration for us, Cats shows us how to be patient, Dogs preaches loyalty, Ants guide us on teamwork, Crows the art of sharing.


Trees also give us lots of lessons. They provide us ripe and taste fruits and pleasant and fragrant flora, if not at least grant us shade. They are “Mauna Muni” (Silent Hermits), they never boast or advertise there contributions. Come what may they contribute to the society without expectations. They are Spiritual master for those who can get the Spiritual essence from them. They give us lots of insight. 


They say:                

Be Submissive -- The tree as a plant is submissive to the wind hence it grows to withstand the wild wind later on.

Value even the Small --The leaves that are small help the tree in photosynthesis and provide the required energy to it. Likewise in our lives sometimes even insignificant person are needed to our sustenance and growth. Just a word of appreciation will make them warm.

Never Self-condemn -- The tree has come out of a small seed. The greats were always small at the start. It is only with efforts and strong endurance they grew and sky was the limit.

Be ready for Change -- Change is the only permanent thing in life. The only consistent event is change. Old leaves have to be shed for new ones to take its place.

Be Supportive – If we are supportive to other they are supportive to us. In a forest trees interlock their branches and roots hence even a tornado cannot separate them while a huge tree standing alone could be uprooted easily.

Be Productive or Creative – It is those trees that are felled for fire wood which does not provide fruits or flowers. Be productive or creative it increases the value and everybody respects.  

Be Modest -- It is those trees with bunches of fruits that bend low. Knowledge is that which makes some individuals arrogant, for such kind the acquired knowledge goes down the drain.    


The structure of the tree is it self very informative. There are tentacles of roots which are like various religions that support the stem which is one Spiritual Thought; then again there are different paths in the form of branches which at the end yield fruit.
