The third flower that is dear to the Lord is the flower of compassion (daya) towards all living creatures. Bhagavad Gita says, ‘Adveshta Sarva Bhutaanam - Do not hate anybody.’ Live in amity with everyone, but do not have too much connection with people. The fourth flower is the flower of forbearance (kshama) which is very special and significant. Pandavas suffered a lot at the hands of the Kauravas, but never did Dharmaraja lose forbearance. Not even when Droupadi was being humiliated by the Kauravas. It was the virtue of forbearance that protected the Pandavas and made them an ideal to the rest of the world. This flower of forbearance is very dear to the Lord. God will be pleased with you and confer boons on you only when you offer Him the ‘flowers’ which are dear to Him. No benefit accrues from offering the flowers, which fade away and decay. The flowers which are ever-blooming are nonviolence, sense control, compassion and forbearance!
