The most visible parts of a tree are the foliage, such as the fruits, leaves, flowers, buds, etc. Other organisms such as birds & animals seek shelter in such a healthy tree. However, the very support system of a healthy tree is not visible & seldom thought about - The Roots.
Stronger the roots, healthier is the tree.
Similarly, external, worldly & secular achievements of an individual are like the fruits & flowers in a tree. The person's ability to stay true to those accomplishments & lead a successful life depends on his/her roots - The Values.
By nurturing, tending & growing sacred values such as compassion, patience, love, integrity, perseverance, honesty, etc. we make sure that everyone is well-placed to lead a healthy life.
