Which tree are you watering
1:55|2026|teaching+metaphor
The one who is most important to us now will forever be most important. This can sound amazing or terrible. If God is most important to us now, then it sounds amazing. But if Me is most important to us now, how terrible would that be? like a million years later also we are still dealing with the me, what did I get, what is happening to me, this one likes me, this one doesn't like me, where is my future going, how much money will I have, same thing a million years later. Terrible. But God is here a million years later, we are living in His presence, in His life. That sounds beautiful, doesn't it? So which tree are we watering? Like that Sufi saying, I am paraphrasing, only that tree tree will grow the one that you are watering. You can't expect to water one tree and for the other one to grow. Because if suppose God had made it some other way, we would have all complained saying He has made it too difficult. Now He has made it simple. Whichever tree of water will grow. See you water the tree of His presence, His presence will grow. If you water the tree of the Me, then the opportunity will grow.
