[00:00:10] Offer Nothing but a Smile

[00:00:13] A smile is a glow on our face.

[00:00:17] It is more powerful than

[00:00:18] a bulb of one thousand watts

[00:00:21] and the warmth it gives can serve us

[00:00:23] more than any electric heater.

[00:00:27] We are not fully dressed

[00:00:29] until we wear a smile on our face.

[00:00:32] A smile has a power of

[00:00:35] liberating one from the loneliness.

[00:00:38] There are many friends

[00:00:39] to receive it and return it abundantly.

[00:00:45] It was a great relief to understand

[00:00:47] the purpose behind offering a flower to god.

[00:00:51] A flower is a symbol of gratitude.

[00:00:54] The blossoming is the indication of

[00:00:57] living life in its full light,

[00:01:00] realizing its totality.

[00:01:04] It indicates the peak of necessity.

[00:01:07] There cannot be a level of being higher than it.

[00:01:11] And the offering is

[00:01:13] the proof of being thankful to god

[00:01:16] for the creation of

[00:01:18] such a tremendously beautiful world.

[00:01:22] A smile is the door to that gratefulness.

[00:01:25] If a flower is offered without a smile,

[00:01:28] it has no meaning;

[00:01:30] it is merely acting but not living.

[00:01:34] However, the acting can be

[00:01:37] a progressive phenomenon

[00:01:39] but the offering without a smile

[00:01:41] can drag us only behind,

[00:01:44] it cannot lead us forward.

[00:01:47] In prayer, the need is the offering of a smile;

[00:01:52] the flower is only an accessory.

[00:01:56] It should be remembered

[00:01:58] that a symbol is only a symbol.

[00:02:01] We can be full of love and life

[00:02:04] when we are even able to offer a smile to the trees,

[00:02:08] to the paths, to the buildings,

[00:02:11] to the sun and to the sky.

[00:02:14] The existence is hungry for our facial expression.

[00:02:18] It is good to satisfy that hunger.
