The trees of the forest silently await God's blessing.

Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan:

The law of gravitation is working from two sides: from the side of the
earth which draws all that belongs to the earth, and from the side of
the spirit which attracts the soul towards it. Even those who are
unconscious of this law of gravitation are also striving for perfection,
for the soul is being continually drawn towards the spirit. They are
striving for perfection just the same. In the small things of everyday
life a man is never satisfied with what he has. He always wants more and
more, be it a higher rank, wealth, or fame. He is always striving for
this.

This shows that the heart is like a magic bowl. However much you pour
into it, it only becomes deeper. It is always found to be empty. The
reason why man is never satisfied is that he is unconsciously striving
for perfection. Those however who strive consciously after perfection
have a different way. Nevertheless, each atom of the universe is meant
to struggle and strive in order to become perfect one day. In other
words, if a seer happens to be in the mountains he will hear the
mountains cry continually, 'We are waiting for that day when something
in us will awaken. There will come a day of awakening, of unfoldment. We
are silently awaiting it.' If he went into the forest and saw the trees
standing there they would tell him that they too were waiting patiently.
One can feel it. The more one sits there the more one feels that the
trees are waiting for the time when there will be an unfoldment. So it
is with all beings. But man is so absorbed in his everyday actions and
his greed that he seems to be unaware of that innate desire for
unfoldment. It is his everyday tasks, his avariciousness, his cruelty to
other beings, that keep him continually occupied, and that is why he
cannot hear the continual cry of his own soul to awaken, to unfold, to
reach upward, to expand, and to go towards perfection.
