The Inner Gardener

The Inner Gardener

An old monk was engaged in gardening. He was closely examining the plants and began cutting the weeds growing next to them. A young man who witnessed this asked the old monk, "Why did you cut those plants?"

The old monk replied, "They are not plants. They are weeds that slowly grow and destroy the plants."

The young man nodded his head in agreement. The monk said, "My dear young man, our life is like this plant, and we should know how to nurture it. While we lead our lives, we will also develop hate, frustration, ego, and many other negative traits. Like cutting these weeds, we too should cut these negatives to ensure we remain fresh like this plant."

"While you are nurturing yourself, identify the weeds in you and get rid of them, so that you can nurture yourself faster and be more effective in what you do."
