The lotus is a symbol for the feet of the gods, saints, and other lofty spiritual beings and has been a part of Eastern philosophy and religion for thousands of years. In many spiritual teachings, figurative language, analogies, and mystic descriptions are employed to convey information.
Numerous religions and cultures use the lotus as a symbol of spiritual growth, creation, purity, and rebirth.
The phrase’s ultimate meaning is transcendental and difficult to understand with only intellect.
By paying homage to, reflecting upon, or meditating upon the lotus feet of his/her chosen spiritual teacher, etc., a student or follower of a tradition of higher truth, a disciple of a spiritual teacher, master, saint, or guru, or the devotee of a particular deity or lord can express humility, surrender, devotion, deference, dedication, and love. The establishment of divine contact happens in various ways.
The guru is believed to metaphorically plant his lotus feet in the disciple’s heart. Sincere spiritual practitioners are urged to venerate the lotus feet of their teacher or God in their hearts.
