LESSONS FROM NATURE

LESSONS FROM NATURE W E find ourselves in a vast universe. We are only a miniscule part of a gigantic society. We should adopt the same behaviour in our lives as that adopted by all the other components of the Universe. This is the correct natural course, and the secret to our success lies in adopting this course. What is this behavioural model present in the Universe? Observe the stars and the planets in the Universe. Each star and planet moves in its own orbit with incredible precision and regularity, in accordance with the laws of nature. None of them move out of their own orbits and trespass on another’s orbit. Due to this discipline, there is peace and order in the Universe. Likewise, we should also adopt this policy of non-interference in society. Everyone should be conscious of the fact that their freedom ends where the freedom of others begins. Look at the world of plants. Plants have silently adopted the mechanism of photosynthesis. They continuously supply oxygen that fulfils the necessities of other living things, using up unwanted carbon dioxide. This is a selfless system of profitability. It is essential that we also choose to follow this system in our lives. Look at the flow of water in a mountain stream. The flow is repeatedly obstructed by stones in its path that appear to be obstacles to its journey. But the spring does not attempt to remove the stones to continue its journey. Instead, it carves its way ahead around and alongside the stones. As if telling us not to collide with obstacles, but to continue on our way by keeping away from them. Similarly, we see in the world of animals, that now and then, animals quarrel. But it is always for a short time. They quickly become normal as The discipline of the laws of nature ensures peace and order in the universe.
