Spiritual Roses Of The Supreme Gardener
The main features of physical flowers are their colour, form and fragrance, by which
we judge their beauty. All these characteristics have their own unique importance.
Introducing oneself to spirituality is like giving oneself into the hands of the
Supreme Spiritual Gardener or the Supreme Being (God). Like a physical gardener
who possesses qualities of patience, tirelessness, love, far-sightedness, faith
etc. on a limited level, the Supreme Gardener possesses these qualities on an unlimited
level, which he uses to bring us up. As we remain under his sustenance and care,
over a period of time, we blossom and are transformed into beautiful spiritual flowers,
and our thorns fall away. When we look at ourselves as spiritual flowers, our colour
symbolizes spiritual knowledge. Depending on how we imbibe the wisdom shared by the
Spiritual Gardener and bring it in our day-to-day functioning; in our thoughts,
words, actions and relationships; the more beautiful a colour we take. Our form
is shaped depending on the quality of our connection with the Supreme Being, the
Gardener. The deeper and stronger the connection, the more beautiful the form. Lastly,
our fragrance refers to divine qualities like sweetness, humility, tolerance, carefreeness,
purity and many more, which we develop. Physical flowers with a good colour,
form and fragrance, attract everyone around them. Seeing and coming close to them,
gives one an experience of joy. The same holds true for spiritual flowers.
Roses are considered the king of all flowers, with the best possible colour, form
and fragrance. Spiritual roses are those souls which continuously remain in a spiritual
consciousness and spread the fragrance of that consciousness to others. Their thoughts,
words and actions get shaped according to this consciousness. They have a deep relationship
with the Spiritual Gardener and are always eager to ensure that others also experience
that relationship and become spiritual roses, which is a deep wish of the Supreme
Gardener, for every spiritual being. They help him in fulfilling that wish.

Message for the day 15-06-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who is aware of the attainments is the one who is content.
Projection: Sometimes, there is a tendency to compare ourselves with others
and find ourselevs lacking in some way. This creates unhappiness in us and we are
not able to remain content. Comparing ourselves with others or having expectations
makes us miss out on perceiving the attainments we have in our life. And we are
not able to experience contentment.
Solution: Instead of looking at what we don't have, which is usually the
practice, we need to make effort to see what we have attained or what we are attaining.
Once we make this practice, we will be able to look at the positive aspect in our
life, which will enable us to remain content under all circumstances, i.e., in both
positive and negative situations.
