After the morning assembly, Swamishri passed by an almond tree while returning to his residence. There were many almond fruits lying on the ground. A sadhu commented, “Parrots eat a lot of almond fruits.” “Let them eat. Is it that you only require to eat? Don’t they need to eat too!” Swamishri replied. “I don’t mind them eating, but they eat only half and throw the rest away,” the sadhu added. “When they eat, they may throw it away. God has so created that every being has a right to eat.” Swamishri’s appreciation for God’s creatures and their right to their innate habit of eating throws a new light on our ways of living in harmony with nature.
