the best farmer in the world.
He was the only farmer in his country,
providing food for everyone living there.
He did not make any claims;
He did not try to get privileges;
He surely could be in control,
but did not dominate;
did not try to abuse his position.
No one else was interested in farming,
except his only one apprentice.
He taught him the skills and tricks of farming,
but above all, not to make any claims for himself
and perhaps,
the latter was the most important thing he taught him!
He went on and passed this to all humans who were open to it.
What do you think about this?

Thank you for the nice sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time to read abt this full verse completely.
The verse is very meaningful.
'It' may refer to the endless creative power (or God) which present all over everywhere naturally in the universe.
'It' may also refer to the law of universe
Everything in the universe rely on 'It/Him' for existance,
but 'It/He' never avoid from taking up any of all these tasks or neglect anything in the universe.
It does not make claims for its greatness
It does not take possession
It does not dominate
It is so humble that it remain so tiny n unnoticed
It is so tolarable that It can contain all things and thus makes itself extremely vast...

Your story of farmer reminds me of a Greek proverb,
ReplyDelete"A society grows great when men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in"
