The rose within you

A man was over pleased with the ornamental flower ‘The rose ’  and decided to plant it in his garden. He was so ingrained with the beauty of this flower that he watered  it very faithfully throughout the coldest winter and the hottest summer. He did not spend a single day without caring the flower plant. He had a great hope that the plant will grow one day as matured and produce a beautiful rose flower. He was cheering as it was growing. One day he observed that there was a small bud which would soon blossom to be a flower. But to his pity, he noticed that there are so many thorns upon the stem. He thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? “ All his dreams faded. He saddened by his thought. Eventually he neglected watering the rose plant. Just before it was ready to blossom it prematurely died and fell down.

 This happens in many of us, there is a god like quality planted within ourself. But in many times we could not recognise that rose rather we see only our faults and weaknesses.  We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. Hence this story makes us think to identify the rose within us and water it, which will blossom one day and will conquer the thorns.
