Pain of a tree

A boy named Namdev was playing outside the house. His mother called him and said, Son, take out the bark of a tree, I need to make an essential medicine. The boy went to the forest as soon as the mother's order was received. In the forest, he scratched the tree bark with a knife and returned with it, but the liquid was dripping from it. On the way back from the forest, he found a Saint. The saint asked, what is this Namdev in your hand? Namdev replied, taking the tree bark to make medicine. Saint said, do you not know that damaging the green tree is unrighteous? Trees also have life. They are considered to be gods and worshiped. When the Vaidya breaks the leaves of a tree, firstly they join hands and pray that we are hurting you for the purpose of saving others lives. This is the law of our culture. The saint's words have a profound effect on Namdev. Namdev reached home with deep thinking. He gave the tree bark to the mother and sat in the corner of the room and peeling his foot skin with a knife. When her mother saw blood on his son's foot, then she was suddenly shocked and said, Are you gone mad, what are you doing ? Namdev replied, Saint had said that trees also have life. I am trying to figure out by peeling my foot skin and understand how much pain the tree will have when I was removing the bark of tree. Mother embraced her son. She understood that he has been greatly affected by saint's words. Later this child became famous with the name Namdev, and he saw Lord in each and everyone.
