-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Just as rivers flow from east and west to merge with the one sea, forgetting that they were ever separate rivers, so all beings lose their separateness when they eventually merge into pure Being.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad"
Garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
-Gertrude Jekyll "Gertrude Jekyll"
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But
surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future
to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much
against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
-Deep Trivedi
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
-Michael Pollan
