Trees,:

Trees, (Krishna about) [vriksha]: (SB 10:22)

'O Stoka Krishna and Ams'u; o S'ridama, Subala and Arjuna; o Vis'ala, Vrishabha and Ojasvi; o Devaprastha and Varuthapa, just see these ones so fortunate whose life is only there for the higher purpose of keeping off the rain, the wind, the heat and the snow they bear for us.

(33) Oh how superior the birth of these trees that, like great souls do, give support to all living entities; for certain will no person in need ever go away disappointed by them

(34) By their leaves, flowers and fruits; shade and roots, bark and wood; by their fragrance, sap ashes, pulp and shoots they award all things desirable.

(35) It is to each living being to live up to this perfection of birth in this world: to be with ones life, wealth, intelligence and words towards the embodied always of the highest good in ones dutiful activities [see also the vaishnava pranama].'

Cakra: (disc) term in bhakti used for the totality of the celestial sky, or the disc of stars that is our Milky Way, that as a wheel or disc apparently revolves around the polar star but in fact revolves about the center of the galaxy. (see Sisumara).

 - Also disc of Krishna or Sudarsana, the acute of His presence or supreme vision of Him; time as the weapon of Vishnu. A breach with the order of time or the cakra is a fall-down, a betrayal of niyama, or regulation. Consequence: a punishment of the fire of unbound energy released from the cakra-order, the broken order is the lust that leads to anger and ultimately madness: the head is cut off by the cakra when one remains in offense with Krishna.

Linga:

Linga: 'One is as long covered by the subtle body [the 'linga' of mind, intelligence and false ego in one] indeed as one is of fruitive activity; from that bondage is there the reversal [of control from soul to body] and the misery following the being identified with the illusory of matter' (SB 7:2-47 and B.G. 8.6.)

- Linga (Lingam): Oval form, mostly made from stone, metal or gold. It is a symbol of creation and of God, who is without beginning or end. Baba creates lingams inside his body, coming out of His mouth, mostly at Mahasivarathri, a holy day dedicated to the worship of S'iva. (SSS-II) The linga is a 'mark' or 'symbol' representing the merging of the particular in the universal, the dissolution of the mind (with its agitations, aspirations and accomplishments that attach and adhere) in the atma-awareness. The wise realize that the mind and the vast phantasmagoria that it weaves are all subsumed in the linga, in the beginningless endless ocean of existence-knowledge-bliss.

- Linga (Lingam): means that in which all things merge and out of which all things emerge. (SSS-III) In the Uttara Gita Krishna says, that lingam comes from the word lina, which means 'unite'. The lingam makes it possible to unite the lower self with the higher self and with God - with Jivatma and Paramatma. (source: 'Sai Baba, the Man of Miracles' by Howard Murphet)

- Linga (Lingam): 'The Linga is an illustration of the limitless, formless, beginningless, divine principle' (SSS-III) "The Lingam is that which has neither beginning nor end, that towards which all beings move, and that in which all beings merge." (SSS-IV)

- Linga (Lingam): It is the symbol of emergence of the five primordial elements," He clarified. "The Lingam is the essence of all attributes and names. It is the formless with form, the nameless with name, the primal emergent from the Divine (SSS-IV)
