Taking care of a plant / child / self!!! ( for adults)

When we sow a seed , we need to take great care about the amount of water and sunlight etc. And the weeds that come by. Even as a small shoot we need to take great care and protect it from excessive sun or water and keep weeding as necessary . Weeds come by themselves & rain comes with little warning & strong winds can be harmful for a little plant, but we need to take care of the plant & protect it till it becomes a healthy plant or strong tree.

A lot like parenting ! Taking care of the children's various needs and preparing them to be independent individuals

And also we need the same treatment when we are learning about self / on path of spiritual knowledge. We need to take care of ourselves when we are new to knowledge and weak to the impact of disturbances.
