In the inspiration from the Gita this simile of the world as a tree deserves a deep and grave thought! The substratum is the Lord, whose status is always the highest. The main branch i. e. trunk is in the form of Brahmaji and then in the form of several types of births are the extended branches. In this second verse is a logical and thought-deserving analysis-

In Shri Gitaji, it has been amply clarified that during the lifetime influence of the qualities are the cause of good or bad states and in accordance with the predominance of the qualities are the good or bad future births. This is the implication of the branches spreading out above and below nourished by the three attributes. Somewhere on the prevalence of satoguna the attainment of higher world on movement upwards and somewhere on the increase of rajoguna birth in the human world of death and on the rise of tamoguna the attainment of birth in lower categories, i. e. animals and birds, insects and flies or birth in subterranean regions.

In accordance with desire will be the actions, which in turn will become the cause for bondage. Liberation lies in the severing of the bonds with the world, by keeping oneself distanced from the attraction for sensual objects. Till the time this attraction persists the bondage in the cycle of birth and death will continue. Human birth is for action while the other births are for enjoyment and indulgence.

Develop the means to avoid the subjection to the qualities and the attraction for sensual objects. This capacity is there in the human birth. It is totally possible. But one has to display resoluteness. This indication is found in the following verse-
