Many fruit-bearing trees along with creepers climbing upon them become dense of shade. They provide comfort to all wayfarers. But Bamboo that rubs with each other becomes cause of its own destruction through fire and for others as well who are near it.
All other fruit-bearing trees bow down but a Bamboo tree sublimed in his own praise keep accumulating pride.
All fruit trees remain at peace at heart and are silent of disposition. They produce no sounds. But the tall Bamboo is hollow from inside and is knotted. It wails and produces noise.
He who remains proud and hypocrite despite living in the close proximity of Sandalwood like True Guru, (remains fragrance-less) and does not acquire Guru's wisdom, such a person whoever wishes ill of Guru's disciples can never sail across the worldly ocea
