In English
Throughout his life, man searches for happiness and tries to seek it in family, wealth, power, and position. But he keeps pining for happiness as there is no happiness in worldly possessions and relations. In spite of the fact that he has originated from bliss, he remains unhappy due to his ignorance. Happiness is not to be found in worldly objects. Happiness emanates from the heart. Everything comes from God. So, we have to give everything back to God. It is said that man should offer leaves, flowers, fruits, and water to God. But man should know the inner meaning of these offerings. What does the offering of leaves to God mean? It is not the leaves of different plants. The leaf symbolises the body with three qualities of , and (serenity, passion, and sloth). We offer flowers also to worship God. It is not the flowers that we buy from the market, but the flower of the heart that blossoms and blooms which should be offered to the Divine. What does the offering of fruit mean? It is not the fruit that we eat. It is the fruit of good qualities that grow on the tree of human life. It is the fruit of mind that we should offer to God. We offer water, but it is not the water of a lake, tap, rain or river; it is the tears of devotion to God. So, leaf, flower, fruit, and water are all symbolic.
