You can say, "I am pouring water on this leaf, on that leaf, on that . . ." It will take . . . You cannot. There are so many leaves in the tree, it is not possible individually you can do it. But if you put the water, pour the water on the root, it is very easy, and all the leaves and twigs and flowers and fruits, they get nourishment. That is wanted.
