The Flower's Contest

All the flowers were colorful and beautiful at the Flower's Contest but suddenly and to the surprise of all the beings of the forest who were gathered there, a flower presented herself, but she was so very old, that we even could say, that she was an oldie; she had no color, and a few dry, withered petals. And almost without voice said:

"I came to claim my prize, I certainly am the most beautiful, nobody can compare to me."

"Ha, Ha, Ha, they all laughed and said: "You are so old, so old that you became mad." But she said: " I may be very old, but I will never stop been the most beautiful ever." And the colorful, beautiful flowers said: " Then, let's take this to the judges.

"They called the most important judge and it happened that he was Love; he called the withered flower, who went to him, just in the center of the auditorium which was the large forest. And Love said to the withered flower: " My beloved flower, it has been a long time since I last saw you, you don't know how much I missed you, thinking about you day and night, and for that reason I celebrated all the flowers that lived after you. But, you will always be the only one and the most important for me; all the others were like your shadow, like a memory, a mirage, but you are the true flower." And the withered flower asked to say a few words and addressing all, said: " You may celebrate all the prizes but for me, the main prize is what Love has given me; since time does not pass because of him, time is the present; and although I may look withered, I carry always in me the freshness that Love gave me when we met."

After saying these words that were like magical, she became light and resplendent like one thousand stars and even the rainbow was envious of her light. All the other flowers recognized in that moment that the most beautiful flower was the flower that Love loved.

The Difference between Want and Love

-How confusing is the thought, how conflictive is the reason.-

In this kingdom, there was a king, who used to say: " I am a great king because I love all the habitants of my town and I love them very much." He used to say and say but when I saw the townspeople, I noticed that they had sad faces, hunched shoulders, sad look in their eyes and broken hearts.

And I asked: " What's happening?"And they answered: " We better don't say since our lives will be in danger." And I kept asking others, but received the same answer until one of them gave me his explanation and he said: " This is a cursed and wretch kingdom where we all feel abandoned. The one called king is crazy and says with great excitement that he loves us very much. And because of that affection, we all feel abandoned. For that king, we are his toys and he thinks that we like of his play. We don't have freedom or any way of expression; he asks us, to laugh, and we laugh; then he asks us to cry and we cry. In his sickening affection, he makes us live, feel, what we don't want to and he says: "I want this for you" and even though, we don't want it, just because he wants to, we have to. Our life, has turned into his whim, because he says: " I want you to come" and we have to go. " I want you to go" and we have to leave" We neither eat nor dress, nor have a natural life. That king who says that he loves us, kill us with his affection"

Then, I left the town with the clear understanding, for the first time, of the great difference between want and love.

Spirituality. Do you know what it is?

Without God there is no spirituality; neither without Love, without morals, without charity, without patience, without mercy and without being able to smile from the heart to all without exception.

The Spiritual Hunger. The Conceptual Mind.

The spiritual hunger is not satiated with knowledge, because it is not satiated with the intellectual thing, but with something that makes the conceptual mind overflows; therefore the exclusive and necessary thing that will satisfy the spiritual hunger is Love.

Inspirational. For Reflection

The essence or fundamental grace of life has multiple manifestations as well as everything that exists in the universe but its foundation, its primordial basis is always Love.

COMPASSION

There are days darker than the night and there are nights in which the darkness seems that never ends . For this reason , we have to be aware of the need of solidarity for everyone . But there is something important to consider , something that perhaps could be confused , the compassion is never pity . The compassion is a commitment of solidarity , fraternal understanding and unconditional Love .

For example , a very dear person is hungry , thirsty , cold and you try to help , to attend to cooperate as a father to son , as a brother to another brother , as if he was someone very close and , it turns out that this someone is the whole humanity . It is not only one person , but all the persons . Therefore , the Compassion does not have to do with the expressions of poor little one or what an unlucky person .

The compassion is to share with happiness , compassion is to teach , is to take care , is to preserve , and is to improve .But if my actions and service are based on pity , or sorrow , then we would have to call pitiful love to love , and is not like that . We love and cooperate and do it because we are happy to give Love . And this makes us attentive , alert , vigilant and cautious .

We will find in the category of compassion , the purest virtue , the united solidarity , while the discrimination , selfishness , and preferences stay behind . What is important here is what is good , the respect , the opportunity and the service which are committed to give the best . What is the compensation ? The happiness of seeing a heart , a society , a universe .

But the compassion goes beyond because the constant compassion strengthens us , fills us , purifies us , and truly shows the way of Love to our fellow beings and of course is the path to receive the grace of God . Nothing can develop if there is no compassion . It is synonymous of progress , of balance , of maturity even of identity in the compassion . And life deserves that we give everything for compassion because there we discover the whole , that is to say , the truth and compassion are not only limited to the man but they join us with the whole nature

Compassion is to respect the plants , the animals , the culture , the sensibility of others which can be unknown to us , but which makes us know that everything contributes to a collective , integral good .

How not to feel this commitment every day ? This even tells us because how not to cry with the one that cries? how not to laugh with the one that laughs ? how not to give our food and to share with the one in need who ever and wherever be Don't we all share the same house , the same home which are the earth , the life ?

The compassion becomes stronger , rises and stands up as a titan opposed to any injustice . And also the compassion is humble , magnificent and generous .What would happen to life without compassion ?

In synthesis the compassion is the practical , purest and most sacred science of Love .
