Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta

Text 44: “I am merely a gardener. I have neither a kingdom nor very great riches. I simply have some fruits and flowers that I wish to utilize to achieve piety in My life.

Text 45: “Although I am acting as a gardener, I also want to be the tree, for thus I can bestow benefit upon all.

Text 46: “ ‘Just see how these trees are maintaining every living entity! Their birth is successful. Their behavior is just like that of great personalities, for anyone who asks anything from a tree never goes away disappointed.’ ”
