The heart may be likened to soil.

Soil may be fertile or a barren desert, but the soil

which is fertile is that which bears fruit. It is that which

is chosen by living beings to dwell in, although many are lost

in the soil of the desert, and lead in it a life of grief and loneliness.

Man has both in him, for he is the final manifestation. He may

let his heart be a desert where everyone abides hungry and

thirsty, or he may make it a fertile and fruitful land

where food is provided for hungry souls, the

children of the earth, strong or weak,

rich or poor, who always hunger

for love and sympathy.
