FLOWERS.

I think this world is full of metaphors .it needs abstract understanding to relate whole creation with a thing or an individual , living and nonliving . metaphor is a word or phrase used to describe somebody or something else in a way that different from its normal use , in order to show that the two things have the same qualities and to make the description more powerful and effective . for example - she has a heart of stone . again , a game of football used as a metaphor for the competitive struggle of life .
The same way , i have enlarged the idea and try to see life in different things in Nature (others also do so ) . one of these metaphors , i like to compare our lives with flower. on Earth , the most i like is the flower that gives me pleasure and peace that i can not describe . it seems to me that Mother Earth smiles and laughs through flowers . whenever i am in the company of flowers i feel rather in Heaven on Earth . i never like to offer flowers to those i love because i do not find anything more loving than flower. i do not offer to God or Gods nor wish to receive it from those who are dear to me . flowers before me speak to me and i find no space left between myself and the flower. i think the moment that i have become the flower and the flower me . '' flowers are words , which even a babe may understand.'' writes , BishopCoxe ,
I think , i have read somewhere in Qoran , '' if i had but two loaves of bread , i would sell one for flower , for they would feed my soul . '' William Wordsworth says , ''to me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears . '' Emorson says , '' EARTH LAUGHS IN FLOWERS .
I always told my students to learn to love flowers if they wanted to learn , what is love ? the flower is the best teacher that can teach the true and real love . but we need that sense of understanding . one who does not know to love a flower can never learn the real love . and one who harms a flower is the cruelest being on Earth .
Acharya Rajneesh , '' only seeds are not seeds , we are also seeds , we also grow , we also flower and we also fruit . '' i learned always to see my students grow like beautiful flowers and to see finally bear fruits . this is my sincere advice , if you want to enjoy life learn to love and to learn love , start loving flowers . look at flower as you get a chance and love it , see at it and try to reduce the space between you and the flower . the day or moment you become a flower while looking at it and forget yourself / your identity , you are nothing but , tru , real and perfect love . feeling of oneness with an object of love is the true love . you can start this love with a flower and advance it to love the whole creation at large. love like mercy drops like gentle rain from Heaven to Earth . leran to love flower first .
