Man is Nature's Product
Man is a part of nature which is a
beautiful and phenomenal manifestation of God’s designs. Everything in nature
behaves in its own way – the way it is created by God. It is nature of water to flow down wherever
it finds way. It originates on the lofty mountains and flows down to the
deepest point it gets. Smoke that takes birth on ground goes high in the sky.
The clouds float in the atmosphere. Seeds germinate under earth and sprout
out to take the form of a tall tree. Every entity in the universe behaves in
its peculiar fashion.
Man also, being a part of nature, tends to
behave the way God has created him. God
has created man to love, to give and to forgive that’s why he is happy when he
loves, gives and forgives. If you hate someone, you will be more sorrowful and
morose than the person whom you hate. The other person may not be affected or
saddened as he doesn’t have anything in his heart. Human heart is just like a
blossom which blooms fairly in clean atmosphere and healthy conditions. Our
heart stays happy and healthy in the clean air of loving and positive emotions.
You can never be happy, peaceful and satisfied if you have had a fight with someone
and still keep anger for him even if you have given him two blows in return of one. Think
of it when you are going through such moments, you will get the answer.
Example is better than precept. Let me discuss it further with an example. A
bottle is created to store water. If you don’t fill it with water, what does
happen? Air takes place. But, the bottle is created to keep water in it. Fill
the water or some other substance, which is important and meaningful for the
bottle, air will go out automatically.
Man is also like a bottle. He is
created to perform some meaningful and important task. If he is not involved in
any meaningful, important and useful works, wasteful ideas or negative thoughts may take
place. Here the saying ‘An empty mind is a devil’s workshop’ that I heard in my
childhood, goes well. Negative thoughts are very powerful and obstinate. They can’t be removed
easily just like the air in an empty bottle. You can’t simply take the air out.
Very simple and easy way to remove air is to fill the bottle with water and air
will leave the space itself. The same applies with us. Extracting
negative thoughts from your mind is not an easy task. The better way is to fill your
mind with positive thoughts by engaging yourselves in meaningful and important
purposes. The airy things will disappear themselves.
Understand the designs of God and know
the purpose for what you are created and sent on this earth. Involve yourselves
with meaningful tasks and you will get to know why you are sent on the earth
and serve the purpose with which you are created by God.
