The Invisible Tree -Wonders 45

What is the most important part of a tree ?
Its not what we can see - rather it is the roots which keep the tree alive & growing continuously. The roots are the most significant part of a tree as we are taught in Avos 3:22 , as a comparison to a persons actions.

There is a profound lesson here. A person may be missing out on the most important part of his mission in this world , without realizing it.
There are a great amount of Mitzvos of the mind / heart which we to perform primarily in an invisible manner , as the Chovos Halvovos teaches.
We should ask ourselves- how often do I think , I love Hashem ? What about , do I love other people ?
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
