Vol. 14, The Smiling ForeheadSpiritual Circulation through the Veins of the UniverseBlood of the universe in circulationI was much interested in meeting a scientist in California [Luther Burbank] who devoted his life to research into plant life. How true it is that through whatever channel one pursues truth one arrives at an experience which shows truth. I was especially interested when he said, "I regard plants as really living beings. I work with them always feeling that they are living creatures, that they have their own trend of mind. They show obstinacy, they feel your sympathy, and if you learn to understand them you can manage to derive a great deal of benefit from them. All through my life I have talked to plants as I would talk to men." |
