Being Flowers … ( 12 / 05 / 2013 )
Some people believe that they can “ find Inner Peace ” and know “ true Happiness ” via meditation or visualization or affirmation or devotion to some other mental practice … And who knows ? Maybe they can .
Other individuals truly believe that they can “ find God ” and “ be saved ” through belief or prayer or worship or devotion to some other faith-based thinking … And who knows ? Maybe they can as well .
Of course , for the former folks — for those seekers of “ enlightenment ” — it is important to remember that “ Inner Peace ” is only the first step on a much longer Journey . It would be prudent for them to remember that it isn ’ t nearly as important to “ Be the flowers ”, as it is to reach out with Kindness and water them .
And for the latter folks — for all those “ true believers ” seeking their “ salvation ” — it is just as important to remember that “ personal redemption ” is only the first small step on the Road to Heaven . It would be wise for them to remember that it isn ’ t nearly as important to become one of God ’ s “ chosen children ”, as it is to humbly reach out to others and act accordingly .
Amen … Let it be so .
“ The best way to find your Self is to lose yourself in the service of others .” ~ Gandhi
“ Not everyone who says to me , ‘ Lord , Lord !’, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven , but only the one who DOES the will of my Father … Truly I tell you , just as you DO for one of the least of these who are my brothers , so you also do for me .” ~ Jesus Christ ( Matthew 7:21 + 25:40 )
