In the plant kingdom, seeds of certain vegetables like ladyfinger etc. reach maturity faster whereas fruits such as mango take longer.
Similarly, in the animal kingdom, birds have a lifespan of 6 months, dogs of 10-15 years whereas elephants live for very long.
This law of nature is applicable to our acts as well. Acts on the physical plane may give harvest in a few months or years, whereas those on the emotional plane may take many years or even an incarnation to fructify. On the mental plane, it will take many incarnations of a mental seed to bear fruit.
By means of Service, we get an opportunity to sow seeds on all the planes.
