"Cactus and Rose lived happily together
With the blessings of soil, wind and Sun
No fights, no jealousies, simple love,
None tried to make other like the one. " (RS: 2002)
( from Ramesh Sood's A Little More Than Ordinary..)
My wife was watering plants when I saw cactus and rose side by side growing well in the glory of God. Two absolutely distinct plants; nothing was similar. Both appeared to be smiling. And I thought - I have never found them restless. Never did they show any expressions of discontentment. I happily presumed that they were sharing a lot with each other. They liked each other.
How could it happen? And then a voice from deep inside said - it’s the gift of acceptance. They have accepted each other the way they are. Rose doesn’t want the cactus to become rose and cactus doesn’t want the rose to be like it.
That’s it! Simple. But is it that simple? Will we the human beings ever learn from nature?
Will we?

9 年It can happen when our Conscious and Subconscious get Aligned. This is possible when our Subconscious gets aligned with Nature. Consciously we can Think, but we Behave Subconsciously, may be without Awareness, And then again Consciously wonder what happened. Acceptance happens at the Subconscious level. And, it can happen when the inner dark spots get Light of Nature. Then a place gets created for All, becoz the False Self gets dissolved. We only use outer Eyes, inner eyes require Awakening...
