“When a seed is sown a power manifests in the seed which causes a vibration in the soil so that together with the emergence of the sprout, the earth is also pierced.
Similarly, the intense restlessness of your heart, the search for the meaning of life, you should understand to be like the vibration in the earth. This vibration is due to the fact that He will reveal Himself. Man's true nature is to yearn for God.
Look, when a seed is put into the ground it has to be covered with earth. If you take it out again and again to examine it, it cannot grow into a tree.
No matter from whom you may have received a seed-mantra, if keeping it concealed in your heart, you practise it regularly as prescribed, it will in time grow into a tree and bear flowers and fruits.
Keep it hidden like the seed of a plant and water it. In its own time it will certainly develop into a tree.
Whatever the Guru may be like who has bestowed it on you, it is God's own name that you have been given.
So, why should it not serve its purpose? Just as a small child is unable to distinguish one seed from another, you perhaps may not know what kind of seed you have received.
But if you wholeheartedly take care of it, you will most certainly come to know what kind of seed it was after it will have grown into a tree and developed flowers and fruits. If one has no idea what kind of seed has been put into the earth but provides it with all the nourishment it needs, will it not thrive and develop into a tree? Similarly regardless of who the Guru may be, if you tend the seed in keeping with the prescribed rules, you will surely reap the fruits.”
