Garden: For work has no other aim...

For work has no other aim than the getting of KNOWLEDGE: when that comes, then work is put away. The flower blooms for the FRUIT: when the fruit comes, the flower withers.

Where to next: the KNOWLEDGE or the FRUIT?

Here is the full poem:

VI

I. 83. candâ jhalkai yahi ghat mâhîn

  The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it:
  The moon is within me, and so is the sun.
  The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf
    ears cannot hear it.
  So long as man clamours for the I and the Mine,
    his works are as naught:
  When all love of the I and the Mine is dead, then
    the work of the Lord is done.
  For work has no other aim than the getting of knowledge:
  When that comes, then work is put away.
  The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower
    withers.
  The musk is in the deer, but it seeks it not within itself: it
    wanders in quest of grass.
