There are many other examples of invoking external drala. I have read, for instance, that some American Indians in the Southwest grow vegetables in the desert sands. The soil, from an objective standpoint, is completely infertile. If you just threw a handful of seeds into that earth, nothing would grow. But the Indians have been cultivating that soil for generations; they have a deep connection to that earth, and they care for it. To them it is sacred ground, and because of that their plants grow. That is real magic. The attitude of sacredness toward your environment will bring drala.
