Your Mind Is A Garden

Kudos to sister for yet another post of motivation and uplifting sagging morale.

But then why Mind is like garden? How to water the mind and push it in right time to shade and sunshine and how to know what right seed to sow at what time. Does it need raw fertiliser? Does the plants ( thoughts ) multiply by direct or cross pollination? Would mind-flowers attract bees and other insects? Plants in garden produce seasonal flowers. Does mind has season to flower and wilt? Some yield flowers in the morning. Some bloom only in the night. Does mind too act like these flowers in the garden? Garden needs maintenance so too The Mind.

I asked myself these questions and in-depth analysis leads to affirmative answer to all these questions.

The underlying message is that enlightenment is to be discovered which is lying dormant within the person.

Another succinct hint in the post is - As long as one expresses his or her gratitude in right time with right people at the right moment yields rich dividends later if not now.

Neither The forest nor the cave or nor squatting underneath a bodhi tree or and being away from cacophony of the city helps to get enlightenment. Pilgrimage too not necessary. Only determination to discover within seems to render the person truly happy.

Thanks and Regards.

 

Hello viji madam
Well said, biggest reason for happiness is gratitude.
People say Thank you and Sorry to others,but they never say to self.Many times we never say thanks for the things we have with us,we hurt ourself so much and never say sorry to ourself.I feel, if we are satisfied with what we have in life we can grow more and spread happiness around us.Its just like flower or fruit plants give us,it never stop after giving us,gives more and more.

Dear @RatnaMalliswari
That is fine elucidation about the need for control and direction of mind in the absence of any indifference to this effect the journey of life would be trecherous. Adi Sankara, Buddha and many other monks emphasised the need and chalked out the ways and means for the human beings to follow.
But a negligible or insignificant only try to exercise control their mind. They go the way the mind takes them.
