You make sure that this tree receives water.
Bhavananda das: Prabhupada was walking down the road from the Lotus Building to the front gate, and we had planted some banana trees and one of the banana trees was turning yellow. Prabhupada stopped and looked at it, and he looked at me and he said, "When you are head of the ashram, you are responsible for feeding all the residents of the ashram. This tree needs water." He said, "Plants live on water, that's their food. So you are responsible not just for the human residents but all the residents." He said, "You make sure that this tree receives water."
