The author was weeding his garden when he felt that it was cruel to kill the weeds. They are afterall, living things too. What gives him the right to choose to kill the weeds and save the flowers and trees and not the kill the flowers and trees to keep the weeds? Then, he wrote:
'In the end, the Hindu text, the Bhagavad-Gita comes to my aid. I remember the answer that Krishna gives to the warrior Arjuna, when the latter loses heart before a decisive battle, throws downs his arems, and says that it is not right to take part in a battle that will cumulminate in the death of his brother. Krishna says, more or less:"Do you really think you can kill anyone? Your hand is My hand, and it was already written that everything you are doing would be done. No one kills and no one dies."
Encouraged by this recollection, I pick up my spear again, attack the weeds I did not invite to grow in my garden and am ledt with this morning's one lesson: When something undesirable grows in my soul, I ask God to give me the same courage to mercilessly to pluck it out.'-Paulo Coelho
