The beauty that is contained in nature is not enjoyed by Nature herself...


















The juice that is contained in the fruit 
is not enjoyed by the tree which bears the fruit. 

The honey that is contained in the flowers
is not enjoyed by the creepers which bear the flowers. 

Those beautiful sayings which are contained 
in the textbooks and scriptures are not enjoyed by the books themselves.

The beauty that is contained in nature is 
not enjoyed by Nature herself.

How can the writer who deals with the material world 
enjoy the spiritual bliss that is contained therein?
