FLOWERS
Flowers indicate a blossoming in the consciousness, sometimes with special reference
to the psychic or the psychicised vital, mental and physical consciousness. It is usually when the psychic is active
that this seeing of flowers becomes
abundant. The light, colours, flowers are always seen when there is a working of the forces within at a certain
stage of the sadhana. Red flowers would ordinarily indicate an opening of the consciousness either in the physical
or some part of the vital according to the shade.
The rain of flowers means a plenty of the psychic qualities and movements and
the white flower of mental victory indicates the step towards it which is now being led up to the victory of the
mind of the inner light over the outer ignorance.
Keep the quietude and do not mind if it is for a time an empty quietude; the consciousness is often like a vessel
which has to be emptied of its mixed or undesireable contents; it has to be kept vacant for a while till it can
be filled with things new and true, right and pure. The one thing to be avoided is the refilling of the cup with
the old turbid contents. Meanwhile wait, open yourself upwards, call very quietly and steadily, not with a too
restless eagerness, for the peace to come into the silence and, once the peace is there, for the joy and the presence.
