A Farmer’s Petition
A farmer planted a beautiful tree but it gave no fruit. He wanted it cut down. Birbal intervened.
A Little Patience
Birbal asked the farmer to wait one more season and tend it with love. The tree blossomed and bore fruit the following year.
Gratitude Blossoms
The farmer thanked Birbal, saying, “It only needed time, care, and faith.”
Lesson to Be Learned
Like the tree, bhakti matures slowly. One must water the heart with chanting and patience. The Lord gives fruit at the right time. Never give up on devotion because the result seems delayed.
