Vaishnava - A Lotus in a Pond.

I am attaching herewith a Photo taken from my cellphone.  The scenario is a dirty / muddy / stagnated / rain water before my Office, in which Lotus are taking their shape into a Beautiful Flowers, worth Offering to the Feet of Lord.

 Inferences from the Photo:

 

1) This Material World is full of Contamination like the dirty / muddy, stagnated rain water.  There are many Non-Devotees in this Material World, just like frogs, insects, fish, in that dirty / muddy / stagnated water.  But a True, Pious Vaisnava is like the Lotus Petal, untouched / undisturbed / uncontaminated and leading a sanity life.

2) Our Life, Family, Friends, Everything is like a drop of Water on Lotus Leaf, Death & Tragedy can come at any moment of time.

3) Even though, we are living in a contaminated world, A Vaishava by his Appearance & Practice can make his Presence a Beautiful, Attractive & Worthy for others;  just like a beautiful Lotus in a dirty water, that gives pleasure to those who see it.

4) One can see / take the Best even from the Worst Place - like taking Lotus from Dirty Water, which is worth offerring to the Lord.

5) Wherever we are, we need not and should not lose our Quality & Identity - Just like Lotus in the dirty / muddy pond does not lose its sanity / beauty / importance.

6) Take all the bad / worst and give all the good / best - like Lotus grows in the dirty / muddy water, but gives beautiful look / fragnance to the viewers & worth offerring to the Lord.

7) Expand your Thoughts & Engergies in Various Services of the Lord, just like a single Lotus flower expands its petals in all directions and give a beautiful shape and look.

8) Just like Lotus gives its Honey to the Honey Bees, Please give your Spiritual Honey to the seekers, by which, your Honey keeps on increasing, but never decreases.

9) Smelling the Fragnance of Lotus, Honey Bees fly from tens of kilometers and enjoy the sweetness of Lotus, whereas the frogs, insects, fish, living in the same pond, reliqunishes the sweetness of Lotus as a Non-Devotee relinquishes understand the sweetness of the Lord.  So, always be like a Lotus, deliver the Vaishnava Fragnance to tens, hundreds and thousands of kilometers, that not only Honey bees, but also frogs, fish, snakes, insects, crocodiles and other species come under Krishna's Consciousness, one day.

10) As each Petal of Lotus is offerred to the Lord, Please offer each and every part / organs of your body in the service of the Lord.
