top 5 things we learn from nature

   1. Love- the language of nature

  

    

Love is the most powerful force! It is a magical feeling and it feels like heaven! Without love, everything is a waste. Love, warmth and compassion make life what it is, beautiful! It is responsible for bringing people together and the bonding that lasts a lifetime. Love is the language of nature. How the species love their offspring, how the chrysanthemum looks romantic, the rains, the swans in the lake etc., all show that love is universal and Omni present. It transcends all barriers. Love is a very important part of life. It gives meaning to life. Without love, life is not life!

2. To spring back from sorrow 

     

The quote by Percy B Shelley, “If spring comes, can winter be far behind?” is legendary! It has so much truth in it. It very closely relates nature and human life and brings out the close lines of parallelism. After sorrow comes happiness. Everything is a rhythmic cycle. Nothing stays forever. It will all pass. What goes around, eventually comes around. After autumn comes spring, and this oscillates back and forth. Life follows a pattern too. Momentary sorrow and regret should not bog us down. Good things will happen, in due course of time.

3. Beauty in simplicity

It is rightly said that simplicity is beauty. There is an inexplicable aura about subtlety, grace and poise. Nature is the best example for this. God’s creation is such, it speaks volumes, even though it is not extravagant! It is not gaudy. It is just as it should be. We ought to be simple and modest too. Arrogance and pomp and show will not fetch us anything. We should be rooted and down to earth! Pun intended here!

  

4. Peace and harmony

Every tiny part of nature harmoniously co-exists with every other part. There is unity in harmony. It is magical, like music! Nature taught us music. We need harmony in our lives too. The frequency has got to be rhythmic and harmonious, to take proper shape.

Peace! There is peace all around, in nature. In the stillness of the lakes, atop the lofty mountains and deep within the sea. There is great power in peace and inner calm. Peace is wanted, on our part. Haste and violence is futile!

5. To be self-offering and uninhibited

We see trees in full bloom and trees offering fruits.  What does it imply? Have you thought of it? Are they not offering us with what they have, that too, voluntarily? Nature is a very selfless, benevolent giver. Nature is very generous and abundant. There is absolutely no dearth of anything. What we can learn from this is, giving and offering are great qualities! We can always offer to help someone. It spreads happiness and warmth.

Nature is generally uninhibited. Whatever it is, it’s always in its best form, unless it is tampered with. It does not shy away. The bold colours speak for themselves, don’t they? Similarly, we ought to be bold and uninhibited, for it brings out the best in us!
