Good evening!
We had heavy snow at the spring equinox. Two days later snow on tall trees has gone
as they enjoy the spring sunshine. The ground grass, however, is still under the stored
snow. So too lotus flowers enjoy the sunlight, storing its fruit inside themselves when
they are above muddy water. When they are in mud or muddy water, they can not do so.
We usually have heavy storage of karmas. Now in still serene sitting our karmas
disappear and we enjoy the spring sunlight. Our daily duties, however, are still under
the stored consciousness. Continuous cultivation allows us to enjoy unconditioned
peace and amrita, the ambrosia of immortality, verifying its fruit inside ourselves.
When well cultivated, we can always be so.
