Lessons from the Nature

Nature was, is and will continue to be our greatest teacher, provided we look at it, and try to imbibe her teachings. Not sure why, for me nature was always divine mother and therefore feminine. And of all her blessings - the mountains, valley, sea, rives and plains.

Often wonder, if the Sun also try to tell us, everything will revolve around you, if you are powerful?  Isn't it interesting, to know that still, Children are thought that the Sun rise in the east and set in the west, when we know Sun is stationary, and it is the earth that is moving. 

Often remember the planetarium visit, the moon games, and similar to sun, the myth of moon changing size, when it is just the waxing and waning phases of the moon, which are the changes in the amount of the surface of the moon, that are lit up over the course of a month, as viewed from earth. And, the light we see coming from the moon isn't moonlight at all - it's sunlight!

So much of misinterpretations, misconceptions and perceptions! So is life with variety of people and thoughts - dreams and limited resources. 

With mother nature being most divine and powerful, let us be Thankful and protect her for the future generations. In what language do rain fall over tormented cities, and what is her religion? 

When our survival is in question, it is a big issue in our lives. But the moment it is taken care of, it doesn't seem to mean anything. Life begins with survival. Don't compare your life with others, what meant to be yours is already making its way to you....what was never your's is starting to flee from you. With time it will all make sense. For now bear the confusion and focus on licing fully in the present. Don't let your whole life be "I'll be happy when". Be happy now. Remember everything is but changing phases. " When you are in a dark place, you think you are buried, but you may be planted."

The day Sun and sea spoke to me, I stopped expecting gratitude and dropped the need for appreciation. Do you know what they told me? They asked " Do you find people appreciating us? May be 1%, most don't even consciously realise that we exist. We know that if we stop working for a day, there would be huge chaos, confusion and disturbance. Our sense of duty makes us very accountable to perform every moment." That day, I not only dropped expecting gratitude, but felt sorry for those who do not realise and appreciate the good in others. Especially those who forget the way they traveled, for whom parents, siblings and relatives were no more important but a burden...

In this days of gossips, rumors and false news; trying to remember and act as per the triple filter test -  anecdote of the great Greek philosopher, Socrates. 

Per the story, one day a disciple of Socrates was quite agitated, and said that he had met a friend of Socrates who spoke badly of him, Socrates asked him to calm down and send the message through thriple filter; and if not it was'nt worthy of being heard; they were:

“Are you absolutely sure that what you’re going to tell me is true?”

“Is what you’re going to tell me good or not?” 

“Is what you have to say about my friend going to help me?” 

“If what you want to tell me isn’t true, isn’t good, and isn’t even useful, why would I want to hear it?”
