Yesterday I had an apple..a small, ripe, yellowish-red apple ready to be eaten..
I was looking for a snack...and I saw my apple in my bag...
I took a bite, it was sweet like heaven...juicy and full of flavor...
I had a second bite...very satisfying...I was chewing fast, realizing how hungry I am...
Then a third bite...but this time the taste was different as I took a bigger bite...bitter...the apple was rotten on the inside...I looked at it...it was brown and disgusting...oh, in a moment, I was disappointed!
...
It brought me to think. At first the apple looked (and tasted) fine and even tempting but the core was another story.....Can that happen to people???.....
If the focus of our lives is centered on the look of things rather the core, what happens?
If all we care for is the external part of things, what happens to the internal state of things?
...
We wash our bodies, our hands, our faces.....but don't we also need to wash our souls?....
If the body is neglected, it could catch a disease, but what happens to the soul if it's neglected?....
...
How can we "wash" or care for our souls?...
For me that would be to connect it with its only Source, the Creator of the soul and the Source of all souls, The Origin of every Soul...Perhaps a few moments of meditation on Him and remembering our Purpose, is the best soap for the soul....
