Reflection of Nature —

The “innate impulse” of human beings are merely the reflection of Mother Nature. Be it materially, physically or emotional one. Our entire constitution of body, be it physical or mental, always remains in harmony with Mother Nature. As an instance, in a man’s life, there occurs the chances when he seems to deviate from a routined, fixed path and begins to follow another path. We give it the name as “ideological shift.” It’s like a stream of the river that kept flowing in a particular direction whole through the year; but changes its course when there is heavy rain fall in its catchment area. Here river leaves its old course and chooses a new course. In this change of course, the prospective factors of construction and destruction both are involved. Meant, when a river captures a new course of flow, it is given to acquire ” new land” in shape of its banks. That may contain the habitation and agriculture fields; all are destined to get devastated. This is an aftermath of change of course of river in shape of destruction.

But, on the other hand, when  a river leaves behind her old banks and basin, that provides an opportunity to other people to use that, suitable for other purposes. The old banks and basin may be used for habitation and cultivation of crops. The great civilizations of the World been flourished and destroyed by the shifting of courses of big rivers. Today’s modern man live under a misconception that he is able to control the course of the river by given efforts in shape of strong guarding walls on the banks of rivers. But  a furious rivers always shatters this misconception of men from time to time.

The same happens with the “ideological shift” of a man in his life. When it gets on to a shifting mode then it brings along with both construction and destruction, in its own measure. This may be supported by this example.  Today, a man may be most god fearing and devout one, but tomorrow he may turn up as an antagonist to that religious cult, he  happened to follow deeply. Or today’s most honest and sincere man  may turn up into tomorrow’s most corruptible and dissolute one. Now this change too contains  both the elements of construction and destruction, but in different measurement, as per the requirement of the situation. Simple reason lies there, one’s loss is another man’s profit.

In this paradigm of river, despite the change  in the course of its stream or getting it self bifurcated into tributaries, the flow of the current always remains descending. All the tributaries of the main river at the end  are destined to join the main course of the river. Our this human life is like the same course of the river.  May be, we deviate from the main course of the life and get deviate from our inscribed moral precepts, loyalty and doctrine and tend to glue to new path. By doing this, we tend to live a life with a “new pattern.” As a given new efforts, this may prolonged for a considerable long time, but finally we tend to come back our roots. This doctrine is named as “return to roots.”

A river is destined to get merged in another big river, likely to that, that big river again merges into another bigger river  and finally merges  into the ocean. But before the merger, it always remains the river as a whole. This is symbolic of “merging of thoughts ” into “infinity.” This merger has two options in hands. First, some rivers at once looses their existence into the ocean; but some rivers, despite the merger, keep on maintaining its current deep down into the sea continuously.

Now we  again return to the paradigm of rivers. Some rivers are perennial by nature. Likely to that, a good number of people ever remain rich in contemplation and reflective mood  whole through in the life. These people are categorized as “wise or learned one.” Some rivers are “rain fed” only and brim with water during monsoon season only. After that, their stream begin to ebb away and at the last dry up. Likely to that, men too have got the same categories. One is of ” learned one,’ another one is akin to “rain fed.” This category intermittently, by the help of contemplation and planning attain the goal to live a comfortable life. This category is put into “medium category.”

The third category of people is akin to river which ever remains “dries up.” Since this category is always devoid of any catchment area ( of contemplation and planning.) There exists nothing.  No original source they own.  These people are dry, poor and indolent one and devoid of any kind of fruitful thinking. It’s not that, these dried up had ever been like this.  But with the lapse of time, adverse circumstances brought a “desolation” to them. This is assumption that this present category of thought less, indolent and  poor people, once might had been “developed and affluent ” people in ancient time.

Man’s life has ever been in harmony with Nature. It runs after following the doctrine of Universe. For instance, in our this planet Earth, the water element amounts to 70% and land has 30 % in its constitution. Likely to that, the human body contains 70% of watery substances and rest 30% is in shape of bones and flash. There is long list of series of such instances to authenticate that our life simple reflects the nature of the Universe. After all we too are replica of Nature in another way.
