Living Authentically

When thinking of the authentic self, Sadhviji lovingly shares that she always looks to nature … why? Because nature knows who it is no matter what. Why is that an apple tree never bears oranges, even when surrounded by a grove of orange treest. She wisely explains that a fruit tree trusts the authenticity seed, despite being the lone apple tree in the garden. It knows its an apple and therefore, gives gives apples. There is no question about who the apple tree authentically is. But, we as people constantly question ourselves about our value, our worth, our looks, our purpose- because we are surrounded by those who influence us to think that even when you are an apple …being an orange is somehow better.
