“Be like a lotus. Let the beauty of your heart speak. Be grateful to the mud, water, air and the light.”
― Amit Ray, Nonviolence: The Transforming Power

“Great people will always be mocked by those who feel smaller than them. A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena. A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song at the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker. Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower. Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud,
it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Everything turns in circles and spirals with the cosmic heart until infinity. Everything has a vibration that spirals inward or outward â€� and everything turns together in the same direction at the same time. This vibration keeps going: it becomes born and expands or closes and destructs â€� only to repeat the cycle again in opposite current. Like a lotus, it opens or closes, dies and is born again. Such is also the story of the sun and moon, of me and you. Nothing truly dies. All energy simply transforms.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower.
Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty. Be that lotus flower always. Do not allow any negativity or ugliness in your surroundings destroy your confidence, affect your growth, or make you question your self-worth.”
― Suzy Kassem

“Seeing the mud around a lotus is pessimism, seeing a lotus in the mud is optimism.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“Enlightenment is blossoming the thousand petaled lotus flower on the top of the head.”
― Amit Ray, Enlightenment Step by Step

“When the mind is silent like a lake the lotus blossoms.”
― Amit Ray, Enlightenment Step by Step

“Fate is but a dying wish... Of a world that is beyond control. Like a single lotus flower, the future blossoms; Upon its petals, two people shall be free.”
― Youka Nitta, Embracing Love, Vol. 5

“Every struggle is like mud - there are always some lotus seeds waiting to sprout.”
― Amit Ray, Nonviolence: The Transforming Power

“We are often given pills or fluids to help remedy illness, yet little has been taught to us about the power of smell to do the exact same thing. It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea â€� but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily (or the pink lotus), it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory - and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom.”

“Like the lotus flower, business blooms in the mud, and in the dark of night. The lotus is an amazing creation of God, because for all of its beauty, it is the sum total of work performed in a mess. It is also a creation that has the ability to create seeds in its habitat for a very long time without help from human hands. The lotus has the ability to survive beyond the mercurial nature of weather (storms, frost). The lotus is one strong, powerful, and resilient flower that blossoms in a substance (mud) that none of us would want to touch.”
― Robin Caldwell, When Women Become Business Owners

“On the path of self-realization, there is no one big awakening, but many along the way of varying degrees: some small, some big; and each one
of them is like the lotus flower, which grows out of muddy
waters.”
― Ora Nadrich, Live True: A Mindfulness Guide to Authenticity

“Life has many petals. Spirituality is unfolding those petals with with love, responsibility, equanimity, creativity and compassion.”
― Amit Ray, Peace Bliss Beauty and Truth: Living with Positivity

“I wish I could see a cherry blossom or a lotus flower. Where could they be?”
― Susumu Katsumata, Red Snow

“It's easy loving someone in the light: in the bright light where everyone wants you to love each other, everyone expects you to stay together, and it's the right thing to do. But have you ever loved someone in the dark: in the deep dark where nobody wants you to love, everyone expects you to be a mistake, and it's supposed to be the wrong thing to do? A love like that isn't for anybody's eyes, it isn't for anybody else, and for no other reasons than love itself. It's the flower that grew in the pavement, the vines that grew inside cement walls, the lotus that rises cyan blue from the mud.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Healing is comparable to a garden. It needs tended to on a consistent basis. For weeds to be pulled out. The garden needs water and sunshine in effort to grow. Like a lotus flower, you will sprout through the soil, reaching up through the dark water towards the sunlight, stretching to the surface where you will beautifully bloom.”
― Dana Arcuri, Soul Cry: Releasing & Healing the Wounds of Trauma

“Lotus flowers lead harrowing journeys. Their seeds sprout in murky swamp water, thick with dirt and debris and snarls of roots. For a lotus to bloom, she must forge her way through this terrible darkness, avoid being eaten by fish and insects, and keep pressing onward, innately knowing, or at least hoping, that there is sunlight somewhere above the water's surface, if she can only summon the strength to get there. And when she does, she emerges unscathed by her journey and blooms triumphantly.”
― Sarah Jio, All the Flowers in Paris

“You know why Antoinette will persevere, just as you and I will?"
"Why?" she asks, searching my eyes.
"Because she's a lotus, and so are we."
"A lotus?"
I smile to myself, recalling the story Papa told me as a girl. "The flower. Have you seen one?"
"They're gorgeous," I say. "But my point isn't about their beauty. Lotus flowers lead harrowing journeys. Their seeds sprout in murky swamp water, thick with dirt and debris and snarls of roots. For a lotus to bloom, she must forge her way through this terrible darkness, avoid being eaten by fish and insects, and keep pressing onward, innately knowing, or at least hoping, that there is sunlight somewhere above the water's surface, if she can only summon the strength to get there. And when she does, she emerges unscathed by her journey and blooms triumphantly." I place both of my hands on her shoulders. "Suzette, you are a lotus.”

“the lotus flower
sees only filth all its life
yet turns beautiful”
― Rajesh`

“You ask me â€� hey traveller, where is your home?
Do you ask a lotus where it comes from?
Deep waters and mire matter no more
It rises to skies untouched and sole.

You ask me � hey traveller, where will you go?
Do you ask a wild seed where it will fall?
Roots and stems matter no more
It rises to skies detached and sole.

You ask me � hey traveller, can I come along?
For few moonlit nights, we’ll share this road
Loss and gain will matter no more
Once each departs on a path of his own.”
― Lidija Stankovikj, The Outcasts - A Thousand Dreams of Redemption
