The
lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom
with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks
underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again.Lotus symbolizes the
purity of heart and mind.  Lotus is a detached observer. Lotus is sharing it's beauty with whole world but has no attachments to anybody.In HUMAN Beings my definition of attachment is POSSESSIVENESS Detached observer does not mean that you are not allowed to have attachments. Handle your karmic accounts as detached like LOTUS, share your pure love, knowledge and don't create sorrow for anyone. When one is detached, one is not affected by worldly conditions like suffering and pain, happiness or sadness. These are all worldly states of the mind. For example: A relationship, give pure love to your partner but stay detached means DON'T BE POSSESSIVE ( This is the detached state). |
