Spread Fragrance Like The Perceptive Flower
We are entitled to our own space. If for some reason, we are denied it, we have the ability to design our inner space, create our own sky, lush gardens of fragrance with colourful birds that chirp songs dear to our heart and take flight into realms of imagination. But how authentic are our birds and skies if we are not in tune with ourselves? And do we have the ability to spread the goodness of fragrance? A flower is most perceptive for it is endowed with sensitivity to absorb the most brilliant part of nature and reproduce it in its tender petals. It has the ability to imbibe the finest of fragrance and distribute it to the winds that carry it far and beyond. A flower has the ability to share the sweet perfume collected patiently, drop by drop, over time. Why can't we shed debris and burden of a the purity of blue cumbersome past to assimilate the best that nature has to offer, like a stunning rose or lotus do? By bragging about our species superiority, we have unwittingly limited our growth by undermining all other, much more rewarding and potent possibilities that lie within our reach. Our deep-rooted conditioning devises our fate. We always have enough excuses to justify our wrongs because the 'rights' are difficult to come by, involving too much effort and a high degree of integrity. We look for an easy way out. Unhealthy compromises have become the norm, be it at work or in relationships, compromises that often camouflage our uncertainties and inferiority complexes, making us feel like inflated superstars. Selfishness, greed for money, name and fame lead us to a dangerous alley that is depressing and dark. We are mostly groping, slouching individuals who refuse to look at our own intimidating reflections having skilfully pre-painted our larger than-life images on mirrors in garish colours that cannot reflect our true identity. We hide our ugliness and lethargy behind an unworthy hope that we chase aimlessly, running in circles to the rhythm of deafening, dying songs that drown our inner voice. Nature offers us grace, balance, rhythm, song, understanding, compassion, even Bodhic enlightenment. Then why separate ourselves from the very source of our existence? In order to gain power? Control? Tо use and abuse? Why can't we be tender like flowers? Why can't humans spread fragrance and make this world a heaven? Get inspired by sunrise or sunset, floating clouds, the purity of blue sky, swaying green trees and innocent smiles of infants. We are running and struggling against our own flow, fighting a losing battle, feeling dissatisfied, and all in the name of so-called success. Let us first recognise ourselves, explore treasures within. For nature has endowed each one of us with something special, something unique and often excерtionally beautiful. By all means, let us run the race but, with our own, individual inner self, challenging our own potential, honing our own skills, in tune with our own inner, peaceful self. Then we stand a good chance of becoming flowers and genuinely creative in all our relationships. As Osho put it: "It does not matter whether you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold, what matters is the flowering... let your fragrance spread all over!"
