The Lotus of a Thousand Petals

Yesterday was our first day
for the preparation of the national seminaire in France

i liked that room be made for us
to be our best version of ourselves

call has been given:

SHINE YOUR LIGHT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN

this is the time of your life
TO BE WHAT YOU ARE

how many enterprises in life
call us,
no, allow us
to FREELY BE OUR BEST VERSION THAT WE HAVE EVER DESIRED?

how many people
have SINCERELY WISHED FOR IT?
as much as those who reached the place to EXPERIENCE IT TODAY.

people still are in wonderment about each other light
do not be silenced by it...
but see it
as the expression allowed of inner shining light

IF IT IS IN ME
THEN IT IS IN YOU
IT IS JUST FOR ALL OF US

TO ALLOW IT TO SHINE

do not raise one above another
but see it as the PERMISSION FOR YOU TOO to IT shine forth

what is this IT
that you keep praying to
while IT only wait
that you desire to LET IT SHINE through you

you are the KEY to the jewelry box
that you are too.

this is an invitation
do not remain silent or awe struck
otherwise it is like
a lightning striking a stubborn egg shell
which has hard time to crack open
lol

at the end of our sincere desire to organise this event
we prayed and bowed to the All pervading divine power within

which manifested
replied back to the heartfelt desire
of accepting the prayer at "Her lotus feet".

by the vision of the lotus feet Itself
pinned with white rose.

someone asked on net
"what lotus feet means?"

answer :
"Very good and sincere question.

Padam(feet) means source.

Lotus(kamalalaye) means the blooming lotus of awareness.

Souce of the mind is the blooming lotus of awareness.

Guru is nothing other than our own self,so his feet symbolically represent
the souce of our mind which is bloming lotus of awareness."


i find this beautiful : Source of the Mind is the blooming Lotus of awareness

Source of the Mind is the blooming Lotus of awareness
Source of the Mind is the blooming Lotus of awareness
Source of the Mind is the blooming Lotus of awareness

 Source of the Mind

is

the blooming

Lotus of awareness

Amazing isn't it?
Step back now,

Look,

doesn't it look like eye?

: )

all of this complicated dream,
pain and suffering
from in to out
to go back in, to our origin

and see that
there is nothing to see
but just our own Self


look at the meaning at the center of the Lotus :

The Sahasrara Chakra is the seventh and highest centre of the subtle body, and is located at the crown of the head.

In this antique diagram, it is depicted as a white lotus of many petals. (In yoga texts, the Sahasrara is described as having a thousand petals).
At the centre of the lotus are the feet of the Supreme Being/Self. One is shown white, representing Shri Shiva (the masculine, un-manifest half of the Self), and one red, representing Shri Shakti (the feminine, creative half of the Self).
The trikona, or triangle, may represent the three qualities that pervade the universe: the creative, sustaining and destructive powers, enclosed by the circle of time.

A beautiful image from Indian devotional poetry reveals the crown of the head as a pedestal on which the cool, fragrant, lotus feet of the Divine may rest. In India, the feet of the Divine are considered to pour out blessings and auspicious vibrations, just as in Hindu mythology, the sacred Ganges, source of all sustenance, is said to flow from the feet of Lord Vishnu.

When a person's sahasrara opens, they experience Self-realisation. After this happens, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi recommends daily meditation with the attention lightly on the sahasrara. Some ancient yoga texts say to put the attention on the brow centre, but these were probably written with the assumption that the aspirant would not yet have had self-realisation - an achievement considered very rare and difficult in previous times. Placing the attention at the crown for meditation, means that the awareness is above the distractions of the mental level, as the lotus of sahasrara blooms above the turbulent or murky waters of the lake of mind, and its petals repel the droplets of thoughts.

In Jewish mysticism, the Sephirot centre known as Kether (literally 'crown'), is similar in it's qualities to the Sahasrara of yoga philosophy. Situated at the top of the Tree of Life within the body, it represents pure consciousness and union with the Divine.

The mystical Sufi strain of Islam has a system of subtle centres known as latifas. The highest latifa: Akfha (the 'most subtle') is also located at the crown of the head, and is the point of unity where beatific visions of Allah are directly revealed.

Modern, New Age interpretations often depict the Sahasrara as having a violet or purple colour, but this is not seen in traditional paintings and scriptures. This probably comes from the idea that the colours of the chakras follow the colours of the rainbow, starting with red at the first centre, orange yellow green blue and violet. Traditionally, however, the white colour represents the purity of this centre, and its integration of all the elements and colours. White contains all colours. 

Sometimes it is described as a lotus of multicoloured petals, and often depicted as an inverted lotus, with the petals opening downward to release divine nectar and fragrance into the brain.

This South Indian temple is crowned by an inverted sahasrara lotus.
