Sadhguru reminds us, “Human beings need entertainment to hide their madness. If they were perfectly sane, they could just sit and watch a flower blossom.”
In this truth lies a gentle mirror. So often we seek distraction — a new show, a new scroll, a new story — not because life is empty, but because we have forgotten how to rest in fullness. The mind, always hungry for movement, struggles with stillness. Yet within that stillness lies the deepest peace.
The Buddha once held up a flower before his disciples. He said nothing. Only one smiled —
Mahākāśyapa — for he understood that enlightenment is not spoken; it is seen, felt, lived. The flower was not a symbol — it was the teaching.
.
To watch a flower open is to remember the simple grace of existence. No hurry, no stribing — just quiet unfolding, petal by petal, guided by light. When we are present, the same beauty awakens within us.
.
Today, let your heart be still. Step outside the noise. Sit with a flower, a tree, or even a moment of breath. Watch is with reverence and notice the pulse of life that moves through all things — including you.
.
Blessing:
May you rediscover the joy of simple Presence.
May the noise of the world fade into gentle silence.
May your mind become a garden where peace blooms effortlessly.
And may you remember — you, too, are a flower of divine consciousness, opening in perfect time.
