We are in a blessed place
A great tree stands, seemingly unassailable. A sādhu claims it will die, but the tree boasts of its might. The sādhu possesses only a small piece of iron, insufficient alone. With a friend's help, applying that small iron, the tree is felled. The cause is a subtle, persistent force, not a grand assault. In an ashram, a tree fell because people cut a little and sat upon it. We must not break things but give goodness. Our actions, even small ones, have consequences within.
"The trees are very big, and it will not happen easily. But I will cut this and that, and the third will fall."
"It is only the little ones."
