So let's know what the mistake is.

To make you all understand, i will tell you all story of Gautam Buddha.

Once upon a time, a person plant a tree in his house's courtyard. He always gives his attention to that plant and always Gives enough water time to time. After few years, the small plant becomes a tree and now the tree started giving the fruits.

Then the person just take a fruit from that tree and give it to a cow. As the cow eats the fruit, she fall dead. But the person still unable to understand that the fruit leads to death for the cow and he thought that may be the cow had few disease that leads her death.

Then a Child eats the fruit of that tree and then he also fall dead. After the the death of the child the person has understand that whoever eating the fruit of my tree, all of them falling dead. Then the person immediately throws all of the fruits from the tree.  Then the next year the fruits are started coming again in that tree. And now the person has decided to cut all of the sprig of the tree.

And after few weeks ago the sprig started growing again and after few months ago the fruits started growing all around the tree. Then the man gets irritated by the tree and shared his problem with a friend. His friend suggests him to meet the Gautam Buddha and said that he will solve your problem for sure.

Conversation between Man & Buddha

Finally that person meets the Buddha and asked his question :-

Person Said - O Buddha, i have a tree that gives toxic fruits, by which animals and people's are dying by eating those fruits. I had thrown all fruits away, but they are coming again and even I have cut all of the sprig but they also coming back. Please tell me the solution.

Buddha Said - the solution is too simple that you should cut the tree from the root.

Person Said - I know it, but I have grown that tree with the love and I don't want to cut it's root.

Buddha Said - this is the main cause of suffering for the entire mankind that he always holds those problems with the love which are not necessary and also the cause of all sufferings. If you yourself do not want to free from all problems then I can't do anything and I can't solve your problem. Your love for tree is only from your side and the tree doesn't even know and love you. Why you are keeping this poison as your love ?

Person Said - Thank you Buddha for make me see reality. I was in duality between cutting the root and my love for tree. But you helped me a lot to make me take the right decision.
