A Recipe Is A Story

We have all kinds of relationships. Some are superficial and some are deep. Cultivating authentic and profound relationships is based on reciprocity. Blossoming realtionships requre unconditional love, empathetic understanding and postive regard. It reqires time to cutivate unselfishness and patience. It takes time for fostering profound and authentic relationships. When I think of cultivating realationship with people close to me an image of a banayan tree comes to my mind. It takes time for the tree to grow. Seeds of the tree slowly and gradually ripen and become a blossoming tree. Such a tree provides shelter and shade to others with no expectaion of a reward in return. I was born in a relatively poor family but the hearts of my parents were rich. They enriched our lives with no expectation in return. They offered their unconditional love and spiritually enriched our life. We learned a valuable lesson: By giving, our life is spiritually enriched. Namste. Jagdish P Dave
