Enlightenment is beyond seasons like the evergreen coconut tree. Sometimes the question arises, “What’s the use of all these Art of Living courses if someone’s behaviour has not changed?” Yet the knowledge acquired by a human being cannot be measured or judged by external behaviour.
Someone may behave as though they have absorbed all the knowledge but internally they have not. The reverse is also true. Someone who seems not to have changed at all may have absorbed quite a lot. Oh, people just look at behaviour, but the intelligent person looks beyond it and is amazed by the play of consciousness Brahman.
Behaviour affects relationships. Attitude affects behaviour. Knowledge or ignorance affects attitude. Grace brings forth knowledge.
On the inside you are like a tree, in some seasons barren and at other times blossoming. Enlightenment is beyond seasons like an evergreen coconut tree that yields fruit throughout the year.
