Flowers
How beautiful the flowers are! How tender!
How vulnerable! Yet so humble and so courageous!
They are the little brush strokes of love etched
by God on the canvass of the earth.
Do they not teach us the truth of beauty and the
secrets of inner harmony?
Do they not convey to us the beauty of life, the
art of happiness and of pure simplicity ?
Do they not declare to us the beauty of His
creativity and His ever flowing, abundant and unconditional love for
the children of the earth?
The Jewels of the earth, the sparkling smiles of
divine Nature, the radiant rays of divine freedom, these flowers hide
in themselves the harmony and beauty of the entire universe.
They speak to us the joys of abundant love and
pure giving. Of detachment and true renunciation. Of a simplicity not
of this world but of the heavens.
In every object of creation are hidden the secret
codes of divine life, the sacred truths of the Universal Self, the
mysterious laws of Divine Order.
They speak but silence to the ignorant. They
convey but mere glitter to the less attentive.
The superficial, sees nothing, hears nothing and
learns nothing.
For them life is but a dull passage, a tunnel of
boredom between birth and death.
Even if the message knocks at their doors, they
fail to respond, asleep in their own little worlds.
But to the discerning and the attentive, they
open their hearts.
To the extent you pay them attention and want to
learn from them, they reveal themselves to you.
To learn from the world, you must be eager to learn.
Only the thirsty know the sweetness of water.
The flowers are no exception.
Listen to them carefully.
Flatter them with your attention.
Is not their message palpable?
"Live like us in the gardens of God,"
this is the message they convey.
"Spread the fragrance of happiness all around.
"We have nothing to hide and nothing to
defend. We are defenseless as well as harmless.
" Be detached as we are.
"Be happy and contended, innerly harmonious,
pure in heart, full of compassion, just like us.
"Accept your vulnerabilities as a test of
your unflinching faith in the Supreme Self.
"Express truth and harmony, expecting nothing.
"Acknowledge your transience and enjoy your
life positively.
"Declare your true humility as a mark of
your egolessness.
"And be willing to become an offering in the
cause of God as a part of your spiritual evolution. "
This is the message of flowers.
These are the truths hidden in the heart of every
beautiful flower adorning the mother earth. |
