CHAPTER NINE
The Desire Tree of Devotional Service
Text 30: The transcendental gardener, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, distributed handful after handful of fruit in all directions, and when the poor, hungry people ate the fruit, the gardener smiled with great pleasure.
Text 31: Lord Caitanya thus addressed the multifarious varieties of branches and subbranches of the tree of devotional service:
Text 32: “Since the tree of devotional service is transcendental, every one of its parts can perform the action of all the others. Although a tree is supposed to be immovable, this tree nevertheless moves.
Text 33: “All the parts of this tree are spiritually cognizant, and thus as they grow they spread all over the world.
Text 34: “I am the only gardener. How many places can I go? How many fruits can I pick and distribute?
Text 35: “It would certainly be a very laborious task to pick the fruits and distribute them alone, and still I suspect that some would receive them and others would not.
Text 36: “Therefore I order every man within this universe to accept this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and distribute it everywhere.
