The Language of Flowers

The Language of Flowers by Paramhansa Yogananda

"God is the Master Painter. His infinite beauty is creeping in the beauty of the flower. Every time you see a blossom, think of Him. God is invisible. If He didn't speak to us through flowers, how could we know Him? He is telling us every day of His existence.

Flowers are given to us for a purpose. They talk to us more about God than anything else. They tell us every day that God is right here. The flower that is talking of God all the time loves to serve all with its beauty.

Flowers have been in use in the temples of all countries. They are not just for demonstration but are for declaring the fragrance and beauty of God that you may behold through them, the presence of God. Each flower is a divine temple through which the Divine One comes to us. " - from the Praecepta Lessons, 1938
