Friends - the sun shows us how to attract them

03/26/2010

If you approach the sun consciously, wishing to become like it, you will eventually receive something of its life, its warmth and its light. And if you want friends, well, you should also know that the sun will teach you the best way to attract them. Wouldn't you seek out someone in whose presence you felt more alive, warmer and clearer in yourself? On the other hand, you would avoid someone cold, dull and lifeless, or, if you had to spend time with them, you would do everything to protect yourself by closing up in their presence. Look at flowers: they close at night, while in the day they open up to the sun. Yes, this is a language. The flowers are speaking to us; they are saying, 'You can only open hearts and souls by spreading light and warmth.' But who understands them?
