Building Life

The Message of Nature their thoughts on understanding the laws of nature rather than wasting energy on hatred and revenge against any nation or group. Do not blame other nations or external forces for your hardships; instead, understand the laws of nature and work to align them in your favour. You have fallen because you were caught in these natural laws, but by understanding and aligning with them, you can stand up again. THE MESSAGE OF NATURE One day last summer, during a short stay in Kashmir, I went for a walk with some Kashmiri friends. We eventually reached a part of the countryside which had wide open spaces all around. We had come to a broad, green valley, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. From various places beneath the snow line, rivulets of water gushed forth like fountains. Pure, clean water could be seen flowing all around us. The burbling, rushing sound of the water, whispered in our ears like the voice of nature itself. I paused to stand near one such spring. Its water course was about two feet across. Then I noticed that there was a large round stone right in the center of its onrushing waters, when the water reached the point where the stone bulged in its path, it did not attempt to break the stone in order to have a straight path for itself. It simply turned to the right and left of the stone, then flowed quietly onwards. Without any confrontation with the stone, it had carved out its own course.
