Fragrance of the Ram Nam and the Rose Bush

The rose flower attracts us with its delicate beauty and fragrance. As we go near the flower we need to take care of the thorns.

There are no roses without thorns.

Our body is the rose bush – full of thorns. Kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (delusion), mada (pride) and matsarya (jealousy) rear up their ugly sharp heads and prick those who come near us.

The head with the sahasrar or the thousand petal flower/lotus is the rose. When the sahasrar flowers with bhakti and love of God, it is very attractive and fragrant. This prize is sought by man. Then no one minds the pricks of the thorns below for the thorns become blunt.

The lure of the beauty of the blossom and its rich fragrances which is bhakti and grace of God entices man. Man learns to handle his own negative qualities or the thorns in the right way for the desire of Grace and Love of God.

Systematic, disciplined and regular chanting of Ram Nam will bring forth the fragrances in one’s life. Always do the Ram Nam japa daily.
