“My grandmother, who was my spiritual teacher, always used the
tamarind tree to illustrate the power of ordinary people. The
tamarind is a big tree, with very small, thin leaves. On a hot
day, the people of my old state of Kerala like to sleep in its
shade. The leaves are so numerous and are packed so close
together that they protect us from the tropical sun just as if
they were one large canopy. ‘Little Lamp, you don’t have to look
for big people,’ Granny would tell me. ‘Look for little people
like yourself, then band together and work together in
harmony.’” – Eknath Easwaran
