The tangled branches of the banyan tree once caught my attention, and in them I saw a reflection of the human mind.
Its vast, complex structure mirrors the way our thoughts move—many streams flowing at once, intersecting, overlapping, competing for space. At times, it feels like heavy traffic every time we step out into the world: noisy, crowded, and overwhelming. What an ordeal!
Yet nature offers us a quiet lesson.
Despite its density and complexity, the banyan tree does not remain confined. Its branches rise upward, stretching patiently toward the sky, instinctively drawn to light.
Our mind, too, holds this immense potential. When scattered, it entangles us. When consciously guided, it becomes a force of clarity, creativity, and growth.
Mastery of the mind is not effortless. It demands continuous awareness, discipline, perseverance, and deep commitment. There are no shortcuts—only steady practice and gentle persistence.
But once the journey toward self-realisation begins, there is no turning back.
Obstacles will arise, as they always do. Yet, when you stay on the path, what no longer serves your purpose begins to fall away. And slowly, naturally, you rise—toward light, truth, and inner freedom.
