For a seed to grow & flower needs soil +pot + water + sunshine in the right quantity and at the right time & eventually it will grow into a plant & flower & fruit
If knowledge is the seed
we are the soil
Satsang & practice etc are water & sunshine
Increased divinity is the plant and a beautiful life of giving is the fruit.
Here is a short story about a mango seed & monkeys
Monkeys love Mangoes and figure out that planting a seed will give them a tree and loads of fruit.
So they plant a seed. But the monkeys keep checking. Everyday one of them is digging up to see what is happening. They have no patience for mango to grow and because of there expectation and impatince the seed does not sprout into a plant.
Same for knowledge, we need to nourish it with service and satsang and sadhna and be patient. Then it blooms.
For a seed to become a plant it had to be destroyed. Someone who does not understand growth will see it as the destruction of the seed.
