\n\u00a0<\/font><\/span>Aspiration in Plants
\n<\/font> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0<\/span>H<\/font><\/span>ave you
\nnever watched a forest with all its countless trees and plants simply
\nstruggling to catch the light twisting and trying in a hundred possible ways
\njust to be in the sun? That is precisely the feeling of aspiration in the
\nphysical the urge, the movement, the push towards the light. Plants have more
\nof it in their physical being than men. Their whole life is a worship of light.
\nLight is of course the material symbol of the Divine, and the sun represents,
\nunder material conditions, the Supreme Consciousness. The plants have felt it
\nquite distinctly in their own simple, blind way. Their aspiration is intense,
\nif you know how to become aware of it. On the plane of Matter they are the most
\nopen to my influence \u2013 I can transmit a state of consciousness more easily to a
\nflower than to a man: it is very receptive, though it does not know how to
\nformulate its experience to itself because it lacks a mind. But the pure
\npsychic consciousness is instinctive to it. When, therefore, you offer flowers
\nto me their condition is almost always an index to yours. There are persons who
\nnever succeed in bringing a fresh flower to me \u2013 even if the flower is fresh it
\nbecomes limp in their hands. Others, however, always bring fresh flowers and
\neven revitalise drooping ones. If your aspiration is strong your
\nflower-offerings will be fresh. And if you are receptive you will be also very
\neasily able to absorb the message I put in the flowers I give you. When I give
\nthem, I give you states of consciousness; the flowers are the mediums and it
\nall depends on your receptivity whether they are effective or not.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>
