Datura or Jasmine? What Are You Planting in the Garden of Your Mind?

Did you know this flower? This is the one of the deadliest poisons know to man. This flower and its seed can kill a man within minutes.


Yes, this the Datura flower or better called as "Night shade" plant. It has the deadliest poison packaged in a nice outside appearance of beauty.


This plant can grow anywhere even in the least fertile soils.

I was thinking about this plant bcoz I had seen a lot of these plants growing in the roadside.


What struck me was the same soil can grow the deadliest night shade plant, side by side to a jasmine plant. The soil does not differentiate. For the soil, the night shade and jasmine is same. It does not care.


Same with our mind. It does not care if you plant a jasmine seed or Datura seed. It grows as along as you plant it and water it.


So would you like to plant a poison plant or a fragrance plant in your mind? Would you like to be a poison or a blessing to the world and to yourself. Do you want the Datura poison of negativity and pessimism or Jasmine's blessing of positivity and hope?


The Mind does not care. The choice is yours... The results will be yours out of your decision... Blessings or curse? You choose...
