Nature's Ingenuity....!

Who can match the ingenuity of nature...its craftsmanship... its creativity....its conservation ....its continuity...that has in turn made possible ...the elixir of life ... water.... to stay at the top of mountain cliffs in the name of snow fall...and allowed it to come down as streams and brooks, and its designer birds ..bees...beetles and butterflies...and millions of unsung heroes in soil and forests and above all its varied flowers n vegetations..many of them are herbal medicines....that are simply beyond words...and even the invisible ones...like bacteria and viruses are no ordinary designs....and have remarkable geometry patterns that has inspired world's top creative artists to supply them with a plethora of ideas...to rely upon ; and yet its ever new and refreshing for each morning thee has arranged new flowers supply to fill the air with fragrance and fresh looks. This is not merely a coincidence that at the right time of the day and night all these circadian rhythms are happening....when a lily opens ...in the early morning hours...there arrives a bumblebee buzzing and thanking thee...and does the much required pollination ...unknowingly...! 

Who does ..all the required biophysics, biostatistics ,molecular and conservation biology , genetics and mathematical ecology in nature's laboratories to understand all organisms eye-view point so that its bounties are unparalleled after billions of years and scores of vanishing acts of extinctions...! Now man with all his noosphere needs to adopt sustainable means to address the ever increasing population ...of which he is believed to be existing at the center of all biodiversity not only as constraint on resources but also as creator of resources...!

Basic human virtues that really count:
All I humbly wish to submit is that.. ...nurture..all the basic ingredients of human virtues: ....i.e....simplicity...innocence... and acceptance... and just be a receptive soul....life will surely smile on you ...one day....!
With all humility...I repeat....give it a try....and pl don't just get swayed away by the so called current trends...of human extravaganza... for they are not here to stay long....and no one on earth can ever ignore basics...so pl I say again....the journey should be from basics...to bare minimum...and not vice-versa.... for the materials while coming in also consume ...free space in you...you indulge a lot in handling that stuff ....giving away your precious time ...where you could have gone for a walk in fresh air...read a book....sit in leisure or meditate...and often lacking an eye for those who don't have them..your acceptance for others gets influenced ...and you don't wish to pause there for them...and in reality all you had...turns routine...by the passing time...and loses all happiness...it ever had...but with the basics....you are ever burden free...and this is where...happiness becomes an integral part of the love energy you carry because of your being available...because of your simplicity....because of your acceptance and resilience.... and life is then a reward...each day....!

Indian style of greeting and their elaborate meaning:

Both 'Namaskar' and 'Namastae' are used interchangeably by people to greet the other person meeting you. It is done by softly joining both the palms of the hands against each other keeping the two thumbs close to the chest at the middle of the body.
Both words are derived from the Sanskrit word 'Namah' = Salute or bow and 'te'= you.
It would be interesting to elaborate on that: This posture conveys that: "with all the wisdom in my head, with all the humility ,affection and love in my heart, and with all the strength in my hands; I bow before you". Bowing here signifies absence of ego...at least for that very moment.
In fact it is being addressed to the holy light of thee; in each of us and not to the person per se and thus salutes to one supreme power in all of us.
Another is pronouncing "Pranam", while observing the same posture as above and it also means I salute to the supreme lord dwelling in you... and at times the eyes get closed out of involvement and respect to the other person as in meditation...

Know thy love :
And, Let the Love abound:
When love ....turns out to be eternal.....for all creatures...below the blue sky .....it becomes a prayer....taking you to realm of truth....without which there is no essence of life..!
may peace be on earth..!

Temptations:

Temptations...per se are not sin and they first need your approval to drag your physical being into it and than when you subtly start falling for them they spoil us..more often ...secretly.. solitarily... than when we are at work.....or...we are in public...an. ..easy way out is.....leave your comfort zone.....come out in broad day light...and water that plant...that was wilting since..three days...knowing you were busy...and in fact...you were not....or attend to some other duty...that you postponed...for the sake of a temptation...molding...your psyche in its favor...to make you ...an ordinary mortal....which you are not...!. Let's repel negativity....in nascent stages.....for our energy,time and spatial existence is confined to given days and years and every impious temptation leaves a scar on our soul for our needs and temptations are altogether different...and it needs a courage to accept it...!
Why not temptations to seek thee...in this life ...the other way round where one can decisively march alone or take along some from the cauldron of society...

A tree's worth...?
Do we need to cut a tree to measure its size and services. 
Leave apart intangible ones...how many of us must have sat in its shade..as a child...as an ageing fellow with gray hair touching its trunk and thinking of the past....and thanking him for taking him in past physically..... as a honeymoon couple, as a poet..and .how many squirrels had their daily routine done on that...leaving paw trails..how many lizards..ants....birds ..and so

on...and when it falls we just say one tree has fallen ..n forget house ,shelter and friend and mentor of many. ..!
