The Rose of Love and Compassion |
|
The rose flowers on a bush which has many roots, branches, and blooms. The blooms all grow at their own speed within their season, striving to be the best they can. They do not look at the other roses who share their roots and say, ”You’re too slow, or you are not a good enough flower to be sharing these roots with me.” No, this is the human frailty. You can ask yourself why is this, why do we, who are spiritual beings sharing a human experience become critical, judgemental and unloving to our fellow travellers. Why do we lack the compassion to see beyond the personality and bring our spiritual essence to the fore and know that others are having a different journey to us. Every soul needs a different experience and what may seem trivial to one is an immense problem to another.
Do we look at one rose on the bush, which has the same delightful fragrance as the others but because it has one defective petal, judge it as not worthy of our love and compassion? Of course not, so why so we do this to our fellow human travellers?
At this time on our Mother Earth, with all the unbalance and disharmony, the need is for those who can rise above the pettiness of being judgemental and critical, and be spirit in action. On the rose bush all the flowers are in different stages of growth, some of the first are in full bloom, and some just showing their buds of potential, but all eventually become that fragrant beauty, and so it is with us, however long it takes, we will all eventually become our pure shining spirit.
Search your soul, search your spirit, know we are all one and from the same source and put into action the art of loving compassion as you embrace the fragrance of another. Be like the first rose to bloom and become a model for others to follow, and perhaps by your actions you give others the opportunity to turn into a hybrid and be that fragrant rose.
