He was cherished early on as a wanted child and connected to his family with an unbroken bound.
Grew up as an accomplished man and sought happiness at all time.
Happiness for himself and everyone around him.
He remains connected with his family in spirit…to this very day…
Observing nature one understands that weed kills flower and take up its space…
My son, she says, flower will continue to live in your mind for very long…
…indeed she is right, it is what we remember not the weed!
It is what we see, not the weed.
Regardless of how cherished that flower was or is, weed remains as weed.
As quoted by Dogen a Japanese philosopher (1200-1253):
A flower falls, even though we love it;
and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.
Another quote by Hakuun Yasutani also a Japanese philosopher (1885-1973) suggests:
Even though flowers fall, don’t regret it.
Even though weeds grow, don’t hate them.
Don’t arouse the passion of attraction and repulsion, hating and loving.
If only we don’t arouse the passions, the falling of flowers and the growing of weeds as they are manifest absolute reality.
Quantum physics now postulates more than one world parallel to ours …
…not seen by human eyes however real and required for the universe’s existence.
The energy that fueled the body, the soul, is there and stays there until it is revealed in another body.
The soul, the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being is immortal it is only reincarnated at the proper time in the proper body.
The Chinese tradition of Taoism believes in “hun” and “po” or “yang and yin”.
That includes ten souls “sanhunqipo” made of three “hun” and seven “po”.
The seven “po” are very much linked to the body that was transcended and the grave where the earthly remains are placed. The three “hun” on the other hand are linked to the ancestors.
Taoism traditionally believes in reincarnation and is also of the believe that life continues through the soul no longer seen by human eyes. It is a continuum that is controlled by Nature and does not stop.
This long tradition has some fundaments that is only believed by wiser individuals with more experience.
Nature would hardly let its course be altered, weed are meant to be removed calmly, methodically and in time to let the flower reappear in all its majesty.
