The Message of Nature

I remarked to my Kashmiri friends how wonderful it was that such sights were to be seen all over Jammu and Kashmir. It is as if nature is sending out its message through these springs. These natural phenomena voicelessly tell us not to clash with the rock, but simply to flow on either side of it. The principle of the flowing spring applies to all roads worldwide. Many vehicles travel on these roads at the same time. Each vehicle turns right or left to avoid collisions and find its own path. If these vehicles didn’t follow this principle, the road would cease to be a road and would become a massive graveyard. The lesson from the spring was a turning point in my life. It revealed to me the secret to living. After that, I adopted this approach in my life and started advising others to do the same. In this world, social life is like a busy road. Everyone driving on it follows the advice announced by the flowing spring. What remains is to apply this method to other parts of life as well. This is the only way to build a successful life and a peaceful society. Whenever someone encounters an obstacle or sees another person blocking their way, their first instinct is often to remove that obstacle or person. They begin to believe that their journey can’t continue until it’s cleared. However, this thinking is flawed. Just as there are thousands of stones in the path of a flowing stream, there are also countless obstacles on life’s journey. If the requirement is that all these obstacles must be removed before starting, then the journey will never begin. One obstacle after another will arise, and a person will keep battling these obstacles until their last moment.
