There is a specific time for plants to flower and give fruits. Seasons change according to time. Even for humans, a child takes birth, advances into boyhood, adolescence, youth, middle and old age. Each stage has a time for itself. Everything is fixed according to a given time-frame. One cannot go ahead of this time frame.
