Poem 283

In plain words

Giving shelter to all people without distinction of caste, the trees proclaim equality to all; "We must not crave so much for the sake of the body," say the mountains, as they bear cold, sun and rain; "Do not fret over tomorrow and the evening," the birds teach the lesson of contentment; "The world is not eternal, worldly life is an illusion," say those who give up their lives and depart; "The sense of 'I' and 'mine' is impermanent," proclaims the shower of tears of Mother Nature. For a living being to gain true Jñāna, Nature alone is the school; and is not Śrī Sai the true Guru!
