After cool days of winter, spring has come with warm weather and the brightness of the gardens. It is a great joy to see the
variety of flowers that grow and bloom every day. Here are some photos of flowers
in Aurovalley that vibrate with the touch of nature.
Be Like a Flower
Be like a flower. One must try to become like a flower:
open, frank, equal, generous and kind. Do you know what it means?
A flower is open to all that surrounds it: Nature, light
the rays of the sun, the wind, etc. It exerts a spontaneous influence on all
that is around it. It radiates a joy and a beauty.
It is frank: it hides nothing of it beauty, and lets it
flow frankly out of itself. What is within, what is in its depths, it lets it
come out so that everyone can see it.
It is equal: it has no preference. Everyone can enjoy its
beauty and its perfume, without rivalry. It is equal and the same for
everybody. There is no difference, or anything whatsoever.
Then generous: without reserve or restriction, how it
gives the mysterious beauty and the very own perfume of Nature. It sacrifices
itself entirely for our pleasure, even its life it sacrifices to express this
beauty and the secret of the things gathered within itself.
And then, kind: it has such tenderness; it is sweet, so
close to us, so loving. Its presence fills us with joy. It is always cheerful
and happy.
Happy is who can exchange his qualities with the real
qualities of the flowers. Try to cultivate in yourself their refined qualities.

there is soul, there is Divine, there is presence. "

hay alma, hay Divinidad, hay presencia.”
