dc.description.abstract	“Among trees, I am Ashwatha,” declares the Lord in the Bhagavad Gita. The Ashwatha is often described as the tree of life; its roots grow upwards and its branches downwards. The supreme state can only be reached by cutting off the strong branches of this tree with the axe of non-attachment. The meaning of this tree is not easily grasped by everybody. “Free of pride and delusion, having conquered the stain of attachment/ permanently dwelling in spiritual knowledge/ turned away from desires/ liberated from the pairs of opposites named pleasure and pain/the undeluded ones go to that imperishable state/Neither the sun nor the moon nor the fire illuminates that going to which they do not return/That is my supreme abode/” Read more at: https://www.deccanherald.com/content/441050/grasping-tree-life.html
