Being the Flowers … 12/05/13
Some people believe that they can “find Inner Peace” and know “true Happiness” via meditation or visualization or affirmation or 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 some other faith-based thinking …
And who knows? … Maybe they can as well.
Of course, for the former folks — for all seekers of “enlightenment” — it is important to remember that “Inner Peace” is only the first step on a much longer Journey; 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 “believers” — for all those seeking “salvation” — it is just as important to remember that “personal redemption” is only the first small step on the Road to Heaven; 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 + Matthew 25:40)
