Flower of the Day

[greenthumbjan]

My Lily's of the Nile are in bud; they look like spears; I have them all around my house because I like to be like Cleopatra.
The honey bees loves them.

"What is love? The ability to hold each other's beauty." ~ Master Dhyan Vimal

"We, with our narrowness of faith or belief, accuse others of belonging to another religion, another chapel or church. We say, 'This temple is better, that faith is better.' The whole world has kept on fighting and devastating itself just because it can not understand that each form of religion is peculiar to itself. Therefore, the ideal life is in following one's own ideal. It is not in checking other people's ideals. If a certain thing is one's ideal, that does not mean that another person will agree that it is best to offer prayers ten times a day. He may be doing better by following his religion in his shop than by going to a mosque and offering up a prayer twenty times a day. Perhaps somebody with that ideal cannot see that the other person's way is an ideal also. Leave everyone to follow his own ideal."

“I am always inviting you to observe your grudges and resentments to identify the point where love was first distorted within you. This was the moment when you forgot that you are the source of love itself, and instead began to believe that you are needy. That was the birth of the victim, which comes generating much destruction. There is no more time to waste on feeding this suffering and lamenting our evils. There is no time left for disunion – you will reach oneness one way or another. This is the essence of the path of the heart: creating union. But this is only possible by renouncing the game of judging and blaming.” ~ Sri Prem Baba
