Earth teaches us Forgiveness

Have you ever watched what nature is doing? In which activities she is involved? Let us go to meet our mother earth, and see what she has to say about life.....and about us...
Mother Nature is always busy in creating beautiful landscapes. She prepares mountains, lakes, valleys, and what not. She is so powerful that whole mass of land moves at her call. How she accomplishes it actually!

She has a laboratory inside the outer crust of earth. This lab provides with fresh canvass to work upon. Every 10 Million years ago, the total earth crust plate gets renewed, and gets replaced with a fresh plate. Are you ready with the new canvass!! Now let’s move towards drawing..Shall we..

How will you paint on land? What are the options you have to embellish the picture? Let’s do the base work first. Here again the plate tectonics comes into picture, causing formation of hills, valleys, and plains. Now our background works is complete, and let’s move towards sketching. To begin with, first place the rivers and lakes, the water bodies that will act as support systems for biodiversity.
Now comes the most difficult part, building the bio-diversity. Among plethora of options, she has a tedious task to select flora and fauna that too with a delicate balance. The balance must be so accurate that it sustains on it own. To evaluate further, this will involve matching flora with eating habits of fauna, and reproducing frequency of animals. You can estimate that even the population limit and proliferation rate is decided by food chain. Once the concepts are prepared, she prepared herself for some field work.
Beware!! You are about to enter into field. First check that you must have the following items with you: Patience, Imagination, Aplomb, Faith, Belief, Trust, and Jurisprudence. Why all these ?? Let’s see..

You require Imagination to create beautiful things, to blend the colours, to create combinations, and to create a balance. You must acknowledge that white colour has the same importance as that of black colour.

You require Jurisprudence so that you are never biased again good or bad. You must admit that good have no relevance unless bad is present. Infact to maintain the system neutral, you need to balance good against bad. A particular form of creation is beautiful or powerful, never implies that duplicate copies of same will make the picture complete.

You need faith, immense faith and belief on small small things. You must trust on ability of small seed that it will turn into a big tree one day. You must have perseverance to see seed becoming into a big tree. You must build the confidence of seed to make him belief in his great future.
Well, now a painting looks perfect. Isn’t it!!!

But hey !! there is some discrepancy? The colours are getting mixed disproportionately?
What I have done? Was the balance not perfect? Had I been biased against a particular species?
Let’s see closely, ohh....the mankind has become the king, and he is ruling the world. But I have made sufficient resources for his living, then why the painting is going haywire?

The mistake that you made is to understand the human belief. You have created sufficient resources for a good living, but insufficient resources for his greed.

Wait for a minute, and take a deep breath. We are about to come out of our picturesque painting room, and enter into today’s world. Today we see large scale deforestation. The world’s forest cover is decreasing day by day, several species are already extinct and many are on the verge of distinction, the atmosphere is polluted beyond a control point, and rivers have started to recede.
It takes years to bring a tree from a seed, but it merely takes hours to kill tree. Imagine if you are working diligently for a cause, and at the end someone meddles with it. Imagine that your hardwork has made you earn something, and that hardearned is wasted away by an atrocious person. How does it feel? Dont you feel revolting or feeling cheated. Dont you have a desire to rebuke the person?

Mother earth accepts all misdeeds of making humbly. She teaches us humility to accept good and bad with same composure. She teaches us forgiveness. She says that it is easy to hurt others, but much more difficult to forgive others. If you observe our Mother Nature closely, you can never estimate her power. Small bacteria know how to function or adapt in extreme climates. A small ant from its birth is aware of development, and its body is developed in perfect proportions. Even take yourself. Since your birth you never have to think about that today your lung should increase its capacity, and that you need to supply more blood to limbs. So many minute things, and minute works are happening without even your knowledge, yet maintaining perfect balance. Its not a joke or mere coincidence. We never realise this, because our mother never makes us to realise the intricacy of the matter. She is powerfull, but never interested in flaunting her power. She teaches us that as we grow in knowledge and power, we must become more humble and patient towards others. We must adopt a nature of forgiveness, and believe in spreading happiness.
