In human society there are various activities performed for the
protection of one’s wealth and life by one’s words, one’s mind and
one’s actions, but they are all performed for one’s personal or

satisfaction of the Lord, the beneficial results are distributed to
everyone, just as water poured on the root of a tree is distributed
throughout the entire tree.
