The tree of the human body finds its fruition when it yields love (prema). That sweet gift is the reason it grew and is fostered. It drew its substance from the earth and the sun. What does it give in return for the gifts it got from Nature and the human community? Love! From the experience of saints and sages, you can realise that the joy got from the external world is infinitesimal when compared to the bliss won through spiritual discipline. To win that bliss, spiritual effort full of detachment is essential. When boring is done to draw water from the earth, the pipe has to be kept free of air so that the water can rise up. If air enters, the water will not rise. So too, be sure that attachment to worldly things does not mar your spiritual efforts. Love will not well up if sensual pleasures and personal pride invade the mind.
