As individuals, we are the leaves. But the greater reality is that we are the tree. The leaves may wither and die at the end of the season, but the tree lives on. If we identify ourselves only as leaves then we just die and fall off the tree and decompose. But if we recognize that we are the tree, then even when all the leaves die we will still live on.
