Life’s Garden

The roots of your little pleasures, fleeting joys and giddy delights in life should never be in the clutches of your big achievements, substantial rewards and potent prosperity.

You must not mix up these two exhilarating sources of happiness: One effortlessly scattered like little wild infinite flowers across your entire life, and the other arduously reared to grow into a large monumental tree planted on only a certain place in it.

Do not be stupidly compelled to put the roots of one into the palms of the other.

Or else, when your path shall inevitably deviate away from where the monumental tree was planted and nourished by your hands, your unyielding grip of it will uproot the tree along with all the infinite wild flowers that selflessly nourished the expanse of your life’s garden.
