Sandalwood

Jai Sri Ram,
Lord Rama Said to sri Bharata, hear, dear brother-the characteristics of saints, which as told in the vedas and puranas are innumerable,

The conduct of the saint and the wicked is analogous to that of sandal-tree and the axe,

The axe cuts down the sandal tree while the latter in its turn perfumes the axe by imparting its virtues fragrance to it,

For this reason sandal wood in the form of a paste finds its way to the head of gods through their images and is loved by the world so much while axe has its steel edge heated in the fire and beaten with a hammer as punishment to make it sharp for reuse,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
