A MOMENT OF REFLECTION

The universe is God’s silent book. It reveals divine truths through signs. If one can comprehend the silent language of the universe, it can become a boundless source of the realization of God.

Consider a tree. When it first emerges from the ground, it is a fragile plant without the strength to withstand a storm. It yields to the gusts of wind, moving in the direction they dictate. However, the same tree after 25 years presents an entirely different image. It stands tall on a sturdy trunk, unaffected by the wind. It remains upright, firmly rooted in the ground. It now exists as a “tree,” whereas before, it stood as a “plant.”

In this manner, the tree symbolizes that every individual reaches a point where they require a period of growth. The period of growth in one’s life is a time to send roots into the ground, strengthen one’s core, and manifest oneself as a powerful entity. During this phase, one should not live how a person lives after becoming strong and stable. If he does not do this and misses out on this constructive growth period, he will not reach any stage of development. Such a person will always remain a weak “tree.”
