This document contains two passages. The first passage discusses how gold remains the same regardless of what jewellery is made from it, and how milk from cows of different colors is the same. Similarly, worship remains the same no matter what flowers are used. This shows unity in diversity.
The second passage talks about how even a small action done with a pure heart is equal to an important action, like how a small banyan seed contains a huge future tree. It states that however minor an action may be, if done with sincerity and purity, it will yield great rewards.

destroy the whole tree, while a sudden flood of water can uproot the entire tree. In

quietconvincingwords.
