I'm afraid I don't understand the title at all.
 

"It's you."  Ranma blushed and quickly clarified himself.  "It's the
person working in the garden, day after day.  Thousands of hours of
work, just to arrange the sand.  In the end, the beauty isn't in the
garden, the beauty is the work put into the garden."
"I don't see what you mean..."
"It's easier to see when you're watching.  Come here, I'll finish
raking the garden for you."  Ranma took the rake from Akane and
followed the lines, capturing the eddies and the ripples inherent in a
sand garden that had been designed centuries before.

A nice little story.  I think it would benefit from more description of 
what is going on and what the enviroment looks like...currently it is 
very dialogue heavy

For example, you can't tell Ranma is in girl form until a fair way into 
the story...

It also incorporated the philosophical elements very well.
