== What is the significance of "Kalptaru" ==


IF we recount the story of the Kalptaru, the Wish-fulfilling Tree, described in eidetic detail by Krishna in the beginning of chapter 15 of the Gita. Its roots are in the heavens and its branches permeate the cosmos, paralleled in occidental mythology.

The Kalptaru is of immense significance. It portrays so many peoples lives. Your mind is the wish-fulfilling tree, Kalptaru, and whatsoever you think, sooner or later it will be fulfilled. Sometimes the gap is such that you have completely forgotten that you had desired it in the first place; sometimes the gap is of years, or lifetimes.

If you watch deeply you will find that all your thoughts are creating you and your life. They create your hell, they create your heaven, misery, your joy, negativity & positives. Yet the pain and pleasure, the sweet dreams and the nightmares are all illusory.
