Tales of nature


In today’s day and age, we are mostly occupied with things that has no significance in spiritual development, such as meeting the office deadlines, whether it be children heading to schools, or people doing jobs that they hate just to make a living, I categorise all these under a modern day rat-race that we all have got accustomed to. We have been led in believing that money holds an awful lot of importance in order to live a healthy lifestyle. We’re just concerned about the external growth but not internal.


We barely even have time to invest for our own benefit, whether it be physical or mental. When was the last time have you been to a park amidst nature to take a walk, when was the last time did you watch a beautiful sunrise or sunset, painting the sky in different hues, or when was the last time you looked in the sky in the night to observe the shimmering constellations?

We got habituated to live in a concrete jungle as we totally disconnected ourselves from nature. It’s no secret that nature has healing effect on us, despite we still adamantly choose  to live the way we do. But what’s the point of earning money when you use the very same thing in order to pay your medical bills? Therefore, it's necessary  to get out there in nature to spend some time in 'self contemplation'. for your spiritual progress.

I’m a nature lover myself, and I feel lucky being surrounded by it. In fact, I spend a great deal of time on my rooftop looking at the pale blue sky as clouds transit taking different shapes and sizes. I can hear birds chirping in my neighborhood as I’m writing this article. One day, I saw a squirrel hanging upside down from a fully ripen mango on a mango tree and savouring the nature's gist. Since the spring just came to an end, I felt delighted to listen to koel birds, has they put their show on only during the spring. And there’s nothing like the sight of a herd of cranes flying in surprising synchronicity. Personally, I find the sound of crickets in the evening to be soothing. 


There are many more events that I’ve encountered with mother nature. Since it won’t fit in this article; I have decided to share only few. However, I hope you all take this in a good spirit and try to connect with nature for your own spiritual evolution.

To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.

Procrastination jinx

In a capitalist society, you are likely to be judged by your contributions and the efforts that you put in to break the bread or let’s say, to get the wheel moving to making a living. Either way, you ought to get physically involved in order to accomplish a certain task. But the real question that we should be asking ourselves is whether we really get engrossed with passion in whatever we choose to do? We often cite lame reasons to actually delay or procrastinate on our day-to-day tasks, which in turn leads to disorganisation and we end up being inconsistent most of time. Not to mention, today’s generation has resorted to leaving things to the last minute, whether it be, preparing for exams, doing projects, meeting the office deadline, whatever it is, we leave it to the last minute. However, that doesn’t always do justice to our achievements per se. Of course, nobody can be held accountable expect for "us", as far as procrastination is concerned. I’m certain that t...

Self sufficiency

One of the essential qualities of any person is to be in a position where he/she can handle things by themselves without depending on others. Given the self-centric and selfish society that we live in, So, it requires us to strive for being independent on various aspects of life. Having said that, I have no intention of generalising by saying that the entire society is outright selfish.  Life is unpredictable, and there’s always a hint of precariousness attached to it. Henceforth, it’s imperative to inculcate productive habits through which one can develop the personality holistically. When I say productive habits, it could be anything from reading a good book to focusing on various intellectual areas which needs to be addressed in order to have a broader perspective on any given subject. The idea is to evolve constantly, not the other way around. And evolution can only happen when we devout most of our time doing something productive as opposed to engaging in frivolous ...
