Do not take anything for granted in life. If you take anything for granted in your life, it will one day be taken away from you because Nature will give it to somebody who values it. It does not give plants to sand because Nature knows it won’t sprout there. Nature only gives the right seed to the right amount of earth at the right place. It is self -fulfilling and intelligent, it knows who to give what. That is the reason why cacti do not grow on sand. If you are soft and mellow it will give you the seeds of flower or of a tree.
If you make yourself a worthy recipient, you will receive the right thing. “Ask and ye shall receive” is only half the truth. You have to be ready to receive. Unless you are ready, Nature cannot give it you. If you take anything forcefully from Nature it will take it back because Nature’s only dharma is evolution, its growth, its survival. That is why it is forever moving towards sustaining itself. If you help Nature sustain itself you will grow as well.
