to descending from the level of humanity. Submission to God is the only way of life for both man and universe. Sound of the natural phenomena is the language of nature. God speaks through natural phenomena. When the cloud thunders, it is proclaiming the glory and majesty of God Almighty. The chirping of birds is like a sacred song. It is conveying to us the beauty of the Creator. Then there is the sweet music of the flowing water in the river. If you lend your ear to it you will find that it is conveying a great message—God is Merciful, God is Compassionate. So is the case of the breeze of the air. It is like a divine touch. Same is the case with the entire universe. It is like a great divine hall. Everything in the universe is playing a sacred music; everything is singing a sacred song. If you concentrate yourself on this universal song, you will surely hear that the entire universe is giving a divine message—of love, compassion, peace, unity. A person who notices these events will emerge as a great spiritual man. He will constantly receive inspiration from the world of nature. He will be a member of that great universal travel. He will be as beautiful as flowers, as sweet as birds chirping, as pure as the river water flowing from the mountain top. TO BELIEVE IN GOD IS TO SEE THE INVISIBLE FORCE BEHIND VISIBLE OBJECTS.
