The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. The lotus flower, a perfect analogy of the human condition.
Reasons:
The root functions of the Lotus are carried out by rhizomes that fan out horizontally through the mud below the water. As it is rooted in the mud it can survive to regerminate for thousand of years. When the lotus first begins to sprout, it is under water, making its home in lakes and ponds in areas where the water remains fairly still on the surface.
But underneath the surface, the lotus is surrounded by mud and muck and by fish, by insects, and simply dirty, rough conditions. Despite these conditions, the lotus flower maintains strength, and pushes aside each of these dirty obstacles as it makes its way to clearer surfaces. Despite being born into dark, murky conditions, where hope for such beautiful life seems dubious, the lotus grows, rises above adversity. Ironically, this same dirty water washes it clean as it surfaces. As the lotus opens each petal to the air, not a stain or spot of mud remains externally. The inner lotus too, has never seen a drop of mud or dirty water. It is pure, and bright, and beautiful. The lotus flower, a perfect analogy of the human condition.
