When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
Patanjali (c. 1st to 3rd century BC)

I’m afraid I didn’t get the connection between the words and the image.

Hi Sunita! Appreciate your frank question. Will try to explain but often I have tenuous connections like this one where I saw the neem tree breaking free of the norms and standards of society (Ashoka tree) and going her way playing to some distant dream and tune of her own and if that doesnt fit into the orderly world so be it. And once you break free then even fate will guide and support your venture. Does that make sense?
