In many spiritual teachings the example of the Lotus is used. The simple meaning is, for us be beautiful in character, integrity, honesty, kindness, goodness and so much more, whilst living in this selfish, greedy, ego filled, angry, etc world. The lotus is a beautiful flower that lives in stagnat water. Yet it stays beautiful and unaffected by the dirty water. And we take the example of the lotus in our own life. To make our life rich and wonderful.
