“Have a look at these great blessed trees, who live only for the welfare of others…. The birth of trees is the most blessed in the World, as they contribute unreservedly to the well-being of all creatures. Just as no person in need ever returns disappointed from the home of a benevolent individual, similarly do trees do for those who approach them. All of their many parts are useful to others…and a tree does not withdraw its cooling shade even from the one who has come to cut it.”
-Shri Krishna (on the inspiring life of trees, Bhagavat Puran 10.22.32-35)
