THE STONE AND THE FLOWER



A stone is very strong, and just by the side of the rock is a FLOWER- very weak. But a flower has a power which no rock can ever have. The flower is certainly weak: in the morning it comes, by the evening it is gone. It is so transitory, it is so temporal, so momentary. But a flower has a power of a different dimension, of a different quality because it is so alive. In fact, it dies so soon because it lives so intensely. The very intensity of life in a flower exhausts it by evening. The rock goes on living because it lives so lukewarm. The life is not intense: very sluggish, lazy, sleepy. THE ROCK SLEEPS, THE FLOWER LIVES.

  1. True.The momentary quality of flower sees experiences and observes the stages of shy budding, full bloom and the frail withering....a complete life..while the rock slumbers its life away..

  2. If we think positively, the rock lives the life of a sage...simple and slow...sitting in meditation....
