That’s the potential of man and you!
You are lotus by birth!
Lotus flower grows in mud and it is a symbol of transformation! You have same potential to bloom under any circumstances. The intention and belief in yourself is the most important requirement to unlock your potential.
In east we say once man tastes silence he smells of Lotus. it is in the middle of all obstacles his growth remains exponential.
Meditation is the master key to nurture you inner garden. Find silence and combine it with intent and chances are that you will find your inner lotus.
Love

from some notes…
Consider the lotus plant: The depths of the pond are full of mud and slime! The beginnings of the lotus are in these murky depths. The slime could be a metaphor for all the dirt that we live with everyday – the corruption, the selfishness, the jealousy, anger, resentment, and all the other things around us.
It is said that there are different types of lotus:
- One that stays in the depths of the slime and never blossoms.
- One that comes up a little bit and blossoms under water.
- One that completely comes out in response to the sunlight, and blossoms on the surface of the water!
The first and to a certain extent second category seems to match Henry David Thoreau’s words “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them”
The lotus symbolizes the divine possibilities of human nature. May we inculcate enough silence to tap into this potential, and allow the lotus within us to bloom to our fullest extent!
Beautiful and wise words! Thank-you for sharing. Love the photo.
Peace, Love, and Lotus to all
