Work honestly
One day you will be recognized for what you are
Do not worry about whether or not others appreciate your good qualities. The only thing that matters is your own work. The laws are absolutely faithful and true, and one day, if you do your work honestly, everybody will be forced to recognize you for what you are. Imagine a gardener who has just planted a very special, extraordinary seed. If he is so stupid that every time he has a visitor, he digs it up and shows it to them saying, ‘See this seed? Well, I planted it. Take a look – it will grow into a wonderful tree and produce delicious fruit. We’ll soon be able to eat some.’, even if he runs and puts it back in the earth at once, that will be the end of the poor tree! Well, this is exactly what many people tend to do. They dig up a seed that they have just planted because they want other people to know what a magnificent tree they are growing. But in doing this, they kill it! You should not dig up your seeds; you must wait until the tree appears for all to see.*
