Thorny path of life
Forest is the creation of nature, in which thorns as well as flowers both exist, because of our basic nature, we primarily see only thorns or difficulties in life. Presence of thorns in our lives symbolises that a world of aromatic flowers (goodness) is waiting ahead for us. For centuries this has been human's route to the forest deities. What we observe and adapt is the most important thing. Life and all of its attributes are full of struggles - but due to the closeness to the deity, this thorny path becomes bliss.
