Dear K2S,

Beautiful post. Rightly deserve to be in the FP nominated list :thumbsup.

Loved your informative piece about uses of weeds and the flourishing nature of these unwanted ones.

I wish those weeds make way for all the goodness and wealth to enter your abode soon.

Similarly lets get rid of the unwanted weeds in our mind which would otherwise flood out the useful thoughts in us .

Bye

 

Dear knot2,
A thought provoking post.From the weed out side, you have dealt with the "weed"in the mind.
Lakshmi resides in those who uphold virtue, righteousness and truth. Lakshmi forsakes those who give up good conduct.This is the general belief.So the " weed" in our thoughts and mind should be removed so that our home can become the abode of GoddessLakshmi.
The fallowing words are believed to be the words of Goddess Lakshmi .
"[SIZE=+1] I bless those who have conquered anger, people who are not envious, those who take pity on others in difficulties and help them. I do not approach lazy, short-tempered and ambitious people. I stay away from people whose houses are not clean, and who are lazy. I love people who are clean, virtuous and hard-working.[/SIZE]"So the weeds from our mind and thoughts should be demolished.
The key to effective and quick weed control is to eradicate the weeds while they are still small. You will quickly learn by your own experience, which seedlings will grow into weeds. Once you know what to look for, it will just take a quick glance around the garden to spot an area that needs attention. As you go about your other gardening tasks, keep a cultivator handy, and if you spot a weed, take a second to "nip it in the bud"..... before it spreads.
As you gain control over the weeds, your other plants will gain the benefit of the light and the nutrients which the weeds were taking. Your plants will gain a new vigor, and their healthy new growth will help to choke out future weeds before they get a chance to grow.
By following good, basic gardening practices, most weeds can be successfully and easily controlled. Regular cultivation, the use of mulches, and a watchful eye will help to keep your garden healthy and beautiful for years to come. Like that if you have control over you, you can eradicate the " unnecessary thoughts from you and can become mentally healthy person.In the garden of our minds, weeds are the habitual patterns we perpetuate unintentionally, which choke out the new ways we are trying to cultivate. It is the nature of weeds to try to take over, as it is the nature of old ingrained patterns to rise up again and again. So we need to pay attention, and take care of the weedy stuff as soon as we can, to make space for the new. Sorry for the long feed back.
with love

Hey dear, these lines in the post touched me greatly !!!

"They like to be part of the family of plants around and so they dress themselves up to look very convincingly like the rest."

However convincingly the weed manages to weave itself in a beautiful garden, it is still thrown away as a weed. It is a pity some of our lives fall into this category - you are given the boot if you don't belong ( But why concentrate on something so sombre a thought, let me instead think about cleaning the entrance of my place........er, shouldn't the Goddess find the double garaged entry door more spacious??? Sigh, sigh.......I am quite under-nourished as well, wouldn't mind having a healthy dose of vitamin M to pep me up )

Nice one dear........I am glad you are finding the time to write lately !!!

Hugs,
Suja

 

You are right K2S.
Whether Goddess Lakshmi comes through our entrance or not...surely, when we keep our inside and outside house clean..peace prevails.
Same way with the cleaning inside and outside of us.

Not in a wonderful way like yours, these are the thoughts that went through me..longtime ago.
Let us be like a weed and learn from it...
We have so many things to learn from nature, from the people we meet, from everything we see or feel.
