Very Beautiful conversation. Here i recollect 2 incidence of the conversations related to plating / Farming.
At one of the community land on the outskirt of Mumbai, a Enthuaistic Guy will travel from Mumbai regularly and give his shramdan in planting seeds of flowers and fruits. He was doing this with immense joy, When the flowers start blooing and trees start giving fruits, he start sharing on social medias largely.
Another incidence I met a couple from Europe at an Ashram near Vajreshwari. They were here for their spiritual journey. Their guru asked them to do shramdan as long as they are here, so they started working in the farm with innovative ideas and also to grow organic vegetables, fruits and whatsover the land can give. During conversation, I asked if the plan to settle here and gradually buy land. They were surprised with my question, but responded humbly "we are here for spiritual journey and following the path suggested by Guru. The shramdan we are doing is our offering to guru and the community near by. We will keep on doing until guruji asked us to do something else". Their response came to me as a big surprise where everything around is a transaction and here its a pure faith and humble selflessness.
According to me the 1st case is itself is a beautiful expression of an act but publisizing possibly adding a layer of uglyness. The second case is pure and humble expression of love towards Guruji.
The humbleness and acceptance with faith can help gradually in detaching.
