XIV- Thoughts and the Plant kingdom.

"Ayam Atma Brahma"

 ( All this is the soul. The soul is Brahman (god) )         

                                                                                                        - Atharva Veda.

This Pipal tree has taken over a Temple

"Get that Pipal Tree removed from the terrace or else it will tear the building apart in time"..my mom told me in a stern voice as she knew the power of the pipal tree to wreck a building. I looked at the fragile plant which was growing out of a small hole in the terrace. It sure didn't seem to exhibit any power to defend itself much less have the power within itself to destroy a building. Yet given enough time and water, it can take down a building.

Design of water molecule after
it received good intention

Now this small pipal plant came from a seed. The more I thought about the power of the seed, the more amazed I became...i mean .. put a seed in the soil..nothing happens...but add the magic ingredient,.. water.. and the seed begins to express itself. Science was and still is at a loss to explain such a basic thing. To science, water is  just H2O, two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, how can water alone spark life??

The first clue came from a Japanese scientist ( Dr. Masaru Emoto )  who found that water molecules somehow alters its structure in response to specific  intentions.  He freezed water after giving some samples good intentions and some samples bad intentions. Water with good intentions had beautiful designs whereas water with bad intentions were unorganised. It was  unbelievable.

Thornless variety of cactus

If water can be affected by our intentions, then surely plants, which have water in them should also be affected by our intentions. It just took sometime on google to figure out that this was the case. Plants do get affected by our intentions. In fact, the wizard of Horticulture, Luther Burbank created a thornless variety of a cactus by talking to the plant and transmitting his love to the plant. He used to say to the plant that you do not need the thorns to protect yourselves, I will protect you. Gradually the thornless variety of the cactus emerged over generations. He is credited with creating over 800 new varieties of  plants and 200  varieties of fruits, many vegetables, nuts and grains, and hundreds of ornamental flowers.


The above facts made immediate sense in the light of what has been said in the vedas and by other saints that the world is ultimately just another dream of the soul.  As everything is created by the mind, everything can be and is affected by the mind. Wow..this was undeniably true in the case of water and plants.
