Wish you a very sweet World Bee Day (Spiritual Inspirations from Honey Bees)
20th May is World Bee Day… And it’s only the 4th time this day is being celebrated, i.e., the UN has declared this new international day in 2018 itself!… Hence today, let’s take some wonderful spiritual inspirations from honey bees, honey & flowers!
Bees sit on flowers & keep extracting their juice… Similarly, let’s remain in the company of God & keep filling ourself with all His virtues!
Bees create honey, hence let’s also take some spiritual inspirations from honey:
- Like bees give us very sweet honey, let’s share very sweet words with all
- Like honey is golden in color, let’s become pure gold (i.e., truthful & genuine) from within!
- Honey is used for numerous purposes… Similarly, let’s make our life so valuable that it enriches the lives of all, in numerous ways!
Bees are very small in size… Similarly, let’s also become very small, egoless & humble!
Bees live in a beautiful honeycomb… Similarly, we’re also very fortunate to be living in very comfortable homes, where all our needs are fulfilled… Hence, let’s have gratitude for it, and also gratitude towards God & our parents, for keeping us so comfortable always!
In a honeycomb, there’s one queen bee & hundreds of worker bees, but they all have full regard for the queen bee… Similarly, let’s always keep full regard for women!
Bees have a poisonous sting, but they use it only as a defence mechanism, hence it’s not their fault… Similarly, even if others get angry at us, let’s ensure that our actions like controlling, interfering, etc is not causing them to create anger… Hence rather than blaming others, let’s check & change ourselves!
Bees make a buzzing sound… Similarly, let’s keep buzzing spiritual knowledge in the ears of all!
It’s said bees take insects & make them into honeybees like themselves… Similarly, let’s not only become virtuous ourself, but also make everyone around virtuous!
Bee-keeping is a source of Income for many… Hence, let’s earn the income of blessings from all, since blessings keeps our stage very light & elevated throughout the day, without any efforts!
The word Bee rhymes with numerous words, hence:
- To become like a bee, let’s be peaceful always!
- To become virtuous (like a bee), we require no fee!… Hence, why not fill ourself with all virtues!
- To become like a bee, let’s keep the key to all treasures with us always i.e., God’s remembrance!
- To become like a bee, let’s see the virtues & specialities of all!
- To become like a bee, let’s replace the word me with we i.e., the virtue of unity!
Bees create honey from the juice in flowers… Hence, let’s also take some spiritual inspirations from flowers:
- The jasmine flower is very fragrant… Similarly, let’s keep spreading the beautiful elevated vibrations of divine virtues all around!
- The rose 🌹 is the king of all flowers, having a beautiful form & fragrance… Similarly, let’s become a spiritual rose, and keep our face sparkling with happiness!
- The sunflower 🌻 always faces the Sun ☀️… Similarly, let’s always keep our attention towards the Supreme Sun God, to remain full of His divine powers
- The lotus grows in mud yet remains above… Denoting living in this world yet being free from negative influence… Hence, let’s become as pure as a lotus flower
- Indeed, let’s not become like a touch-me-not flower (which shrinks with the slightest of touches) or night flower (which blooms only in the night)… But let’s become like a hibiscus flower (which is offered to deities like Lord Ganesha!)
- The flower keeps giving it’s fragrance in everyone’s hands & at all places… Similarly, let’s remain stabilised in the experience of our original virtues always, irrespective of external challenges
Honey is also called madhu… Hence, let’s also visit Madhuban i.e., the forest of honey (i.e., the international headquarters of Brahma Kumaris) for a meditation retreat… Indeed, some scientists have remarked that Madhuban has the most elevated vibrations in the whole world, hence it’s definitely the best place to learn & practise meditation!
