I cut out a leaf from the Life plant (Miracle leaf, or ‘Ilamulachi’
in Malayalam) and hung it in the air. Within a week, roots started sprouting
out of its serrations, and in a few days, cute, tiny leaves also appeared. The
mother leaf hanging in the air with so many tiny little babies! No water was
available to the leaf for this period.
I went out and looked at the plant from which I had plucked
and brought the leaf. None of the other leaves had sprouted baby plants.
The
separated leaf was facing adverse situation, which led it to propagate itself.
Then the great lesson of life struck me. The Universe puts
us through tough situations to bring out the best in us. Without realizing the
significance of having to face difficulties, many parents approach me for counseling
when their children have to take some tough decisions in life. They fail to
understand that those experiences are necessary to make them balanced, mature
individuals!
