Topic: Fragrance (10/24/05)
Every being is born with a fragrance and it changes to bad or good as per his mode of behavior. When he is born as a baby, he bears upon him the fragrance of innocence and divinity. When he grows as a child, he is filled with the fragrance of immaturity. As a teenager, his mind is fragranced with promptness, mistakes and sometimes thoughtless behavior. As an adult, he bears upon him the fragrance of maturity and even wrong thoughts and deeds. As he grows older and older, he realizes that his only natural fragrance is the one he is born with and it is no other than ‘divinity.’


After tasting the casual, sweet and bitter experiences of fragrance in his life, he finally realizes the worth of spending time on, with and around God. He rises in spiritual effulgence and lives his latter life with noble thoughts in his mind, kind, true and good words on his tongue and performs worthy deeds as a human being. Ultimate goal of every being’s life is to move from untruth to truth, immorality to immortality, ignorance to enlightenment. Real fragrance of a human being is to live as a human. He is born as a human not to live as a beast but to live with his true qualities of love and compassion and henceforth move forward and rise to the level of divinity. This practice makes it easy for him to merge with the divine energy. It is only then his true fragrance of divinity is felt by all around him and above all by the Lord who with pride smiles happily looking at His hands for creating such a marvelous being called ‘human being’ who realized his life purpose of living and dying divine only to merge with Him.

Just recently, I was reading about every human being having a signature smell. I imagine that it is as unique as our fingerprints.

I like your first paragraph a great deal; especially the "fragrance of divinity."

Short and fairly well done. Watch the "he" pronoun. Such masculine reference is now considered wrong. Thanks for sharing.
