AROMA OF THE LOTUS BLOOM
Very few people possess the art of expressing the profound elemental truths of life in vivid pearls of thought. Wherefore great seers wedded to the world's beneficence, have continually sought to illumine the path of human happiness on our earth by imaging the imperceptible, ineffable stirrings in their hearts in a concrete form by way of anecdotes, illustrations and characters easily intelligible even to laymen. Engaged in the pursuit of Truth benign and perceiving its imprint on the stream of human consciousness as something imperishable, immutable, beyond the
Tide of Time and aquiver with the breath of everlasting bliss, all saints and sages have proclaimed this Truth as Beauty embodied, employing only a different designation for the purpose. But they envisaged simultaneously as well a third dimension of these twin projections of Universal Reality in the living image of human wellbeing, human beneficence. This Transcendent Truth he alone can imbibe who visualizes it in its triple reality.
Thus it is that thinkers, philosophers and savants endorse and consecrate only that element out of this infinite world of Creation which imparts perennial joy to man and is beneficent all the while, even as they exhort all creatures to honour it and it alone above everything else in life.
