Gardening is like Sex

I spend an enormous amount of time gardening, which can be extremely frustrating for my wife and family members. Soiled hands, dust-caked body peppered with pieces of greenery in my hair, beard and clothes and pieces of soil and flora littered in my garden, before I clean up.

Drizzle or sun, both don't bother me, but Mohini worries that I might fall ill. Then there is the sweat which bothers her. So she often asks me to hire a gardener, but I steadfastly refuse.

I love gardening; I find it very pleasurable.

Being outdoors, in the sun and the drizzle, the fresh air, and the sound of birds chirping, the bees and butterflies all bring a wonderful sense of being one with nature.

Gardening is many things to me, even a form of meditation. Often, I am not thinking about anything as I observe life emerging in the form of new shoots, leaves, flowering and fruiting.

Then suddenly, I experience an Eureka moment. It could be a beautiful sight, a deep insight, a surge of emotion. I lose myself just like one would when having a sexual experience.

That's it!

If you garden for pleasure, then gardening is like sex. You can't get anyone else to do it for you.

Whatever we do with love and devotion, the pleasure and satisfaction last long and only grow with time. People often mistake sex as an act, whereas sex is really manifested energy.
