(The Mother) The rishis of ancient India discovered the One Existence in all things. They saw the animate and inanimate alike as manifestations of Spirit pervaded through and through with living consciousness. They recognised not only the divinity of all but also the uniqueness and individuality of each. What they saw was codified and recorded in the holy scriptures, the Shastras. These rishis did not know by the mind or the senses. They perceived by a direct inner vision and identity with the object of perception. Of all animate and inanimate things on earth they found that flowers are nature’s purest manifestation of the Divine. They knew that each flower embodies in its color, form and fragrance a particular vibration or consciousness and that contact with a flower can bring one into contact with that vibration. For this reason flowers were commonly used in all forms of worship, offering and devotion. Through the ages flowers became an integral part of Indian culture playing a very significant though often forgotten role. நம் வாழ்வில் நன்மைகளும் தீமைகளும் கலந்துள்ளன. தீமைகளை தவிர்க்கவும், நன்மைகளைப் பெருக்கிக் கொள்ளவும் பூக்கள் பெருந்துணையாக அமைந்துள்ளன. பூக்களை எப்படி உபயோகப்படுத்த வேண்டும் என்று தெரிந்து கொண்டால் நல்லவை நம்மை நாடுமாறும் தீயவை நம்மை விட்டு அகலுமாறும் செய்தி கொள்ளலாம். -Thiru.
