MOTHER NATURE…THE GREATEST GURU!

Nature is the best teacher to anyone who wishes to evolve spiritually.

Just by keeping our eyes and ears open, we can learn many lessons from Mother Nature.

The earth supports the person who digs deep into her womb. Let us learn the virtue of Patience from Mother Earth.

The water cools, cleanses and purifies. It lets the dirt settle down and becomes pure again. Let us learn the art of cleansing and remaining clean from water.

Fire is hidden in every object around us. Under the right conditions they will start burning. Let us learn the truth that Atman is hidden in every object around us just like the element of Fire.

Air dissipates and carries various fragrances and odors but does not get attached to any of them. Let us learn the art of doing our work without getting attached to them.

The sky pervades everywhere-inside and outside every object. Neither does it defile any of those things nor does it get defiled by them. Let us learn the secret of Nirmalathvam from Aakaasam.

The sea is so deep, so majestic and so silent, in spite of holding so many treasures in her womb. Let us learn from the sea to be silent and serene .

If we place 100 pots filled with water we can see the reflection of the Sun in each of the pots. Let us learn the truth that Atman is one but it is illuminating every jeevan just as the Sun does the water in the pots.

The Moon waxes and wanes. The sareera of any jeeva is constantly changing, growing and deteriorating. Let us learn from the Moon the fact that sareeram is not constant or permanent.

The spider spins a web from the silk produced in its body. It can also take back the web into its body. Let us learn the fact the God created the universe from His own self during Srushti and will take back everything into Himself during Pralaya.

The worm becomes a wasp, just by thinking about it. Let us learn from the wasp the fact that we become what we keep thinking about.

A python never leaves its tree. It just eats any prey that happens to walk close by. Let us learn to eat what comes our way and not go searching for fancy food stuff.

The honey bees work all day long, gather nectar and convert it to honey. They make more honey than what they may need and store it. The greedy human being kills the bees and take their honey. Let us learn from the honey bees the lesson that hoarding too much of wealth may endanger our lives.

If we remain alert and observant we can learn many valuable lessons from Mother Nature!
