White Flag of Aspiration
Common name: "Peace Lily" or "White Flag"
Latin name: Spathiphyllum 'Lynise
Aspiration for Purity
Purity is perfect sincerity and one can obtain it only when the being
is entirely consecrated to the Divine.
[We can, simply by a sincere aspiration, open a sealed door in us and
find...that Something which will change the whole significance of
life, reply to all our questions, solve all our problems and lead us
to the perfection we aspire for without knowing it, to that reality we
alone can satisfy us and give us lasting joy, eqilibrium, strength,
life.

seeking you in your place of hiding
If you were here always without veil you would remain unattainable for me!
...
The water goes to far above and hides in clouds...only to return in
shower of rain to meet the thirst of the earth below..
[The above lines are a part of a song of Tagore. I have tried to
translate it from Bengali but my knowledge of English makes a poor
show of those beautiful lines!]

fragrant evening with jasmine

unrelenting and unwanted in India.
But exactly at this time the white fragrant flowers like this Jasmine
bloom in the darkness of the night.
