The opening line of this passage " A seed eventually blossoms into the most beautiful flower."is a call for awakening the Self which cannot be realized by outside sources like prestge, possesions and power. We need to be awakened from the deep sleep of ignorance and illusion. Such an awakening takes time. It requires patience, perseverance and willingness to clear up the innermost mess. The inner door of the temple of the heart is always open. We need to wake up from the darkness of ignorance and illusion and have willingness and faith for freeing ourselves from self-created bondage.
The challenge for me is how to live in the world but not of the world.To live fully I need to empty my shack of possesiveness and attachgments. I need to clear my eyes to let the Divine light in. And to let the coluds in my mind clear in order to see the luminous light shining within me.
I need to create a dynamic balance between holding on and letting go. Sometimes I like to hold on to what pleases me even at the cost of my wellness. It is hard to let it go. The other side of the coin is my wellness. As a human being I like to grab what is pleasant and hold on to it at the cost of my wellness. I need to close that door to let the light shine in me.
When my noisy mind is quiet and clear of the clouds of attachment, I see the light coming from within that helps me see my lifepath clearly. These are the precious momemts in my life that enlightens me and keeps me walking on my path that fills the cup of my life. What a gift! What ajoy! What a bliss!
Namaste.
