| Babaji |
Baba Hairdakhan, Babaji loved to care for and plant trees. He encouraged others to do the same.
Himalayan mystics explain that human birth is precious. It is attained after millions of years of evolution when a soul evolves slowly from bacteria, animal and eventually to human form and beyond. As a human, the capabilities are far more than that of any other animal on planet earth. With this form, the human soul also had certain responsibilities that come with any advantages. It is the duty of humans to help the less evolved that include plants, animals and even other humans. It is an expression of love for mother earth. Of the three virtues required for evolution – love, truth and simplicity, love is the foremost. If a human does not continue to evolve to still higher life forms, godly by our reckoning, there is danger of it slipping back into lower ones.

At the present time, when human population has increased to
an extent that plant life is suffering and trees are being destroyed faster
than they can be replaced by natural processes, it is the duty of every human
to care for trees and help plant more of them. To repeat a quotation of a babaji woven
in the stories included in my book, The Babaji Affair, or in India at http://www.amazon.in/The-Babaji-Affair-Ashok-Malhotra/dp/149232955X. It is also available in other countries and the link can be found easily by googling.
“Babaji had often said that a
human who does not grow trees during his lifetime lost the right to be born as
a human in future lives. He said that a human uses many of the earth’s
resources during a lifetime. Growing trees is a way to repay that debt. Trees
supported and sustained life. The leaves they shed added organic matter to
soil. Some of it was washed into the oceans by rivers where even more green
growth took place. Without plants there would be no oxygen and no life would be
possible. Besides, humans were the only life form on earth that depended on
cooked food. The fuel for cooking came from trees. If a human did not grow
trees he was living a sinful life. He deserved to be born as a goat, cow or an
insect and not a human.”
