A tree that grows beside the sandalwood tree is changed.
That tree begins to smell like sandalwood too.
A tree that grows beside sandalwood begins to smell like sandalwood.
Chandan is sandalwood, a tree loved for its sweet smell. Tarvar is any ordinary tree. When the ordinary tree grows beside the sandalwood, it is bigri-o, changed. It chandan ho-ay nibri-o, becomes sandalwood too.
It is an everyday version of the river picture. Think of how a sweater picks up the smell of the kitchen after a day of cooking. You didn't try to make it smell good. It just happened by being close. Goodness rubs off on you like that, slowly and naturally.
Who in your life makes you kinder or calmer just by being around them?
