| Have you read anything about Luther Burbank, an American lover of trees and plants? He did this miracle: he talked to seeds, he talked to his plants, and he talked continuously – that's what I'm doing – and a moment came when the plants started hearing him. He was working on a cactus for seven years – continuously talking to the cactus, saying, "You need not be worried and need not be defensive, because there is no danger to your life..." --Osho Yoga: The Alpha and the Omega, Vol. 5, ch. 4 |
