Spiritual flower (5)

I believe the answer is:

lotus

(Other definitions for lotus that I've seen before include "Kind of cross-legged position for meditation" , "Indian waterlily" , "reason for indolence" , "----- Eaters, indolent hedonists" , "Kind of water lily" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
