There is a lot to be learnt from Nature. The fiery rays of the sun and its consistency and discipline , teaches us to be powerful and straight in our dealings.
The calmness of the moon helps us to remain calm and soothing in our approach. Even after the moon becomes a new moon and vanishes, it rises from the ashes and grows gradually to become a full moon again. A lesson here is not to get cowed down by repeated defeats as you can rise all over again.
Now think of the exuberance and enthusiasm of a river. It rushes down the mountain top at full steam and steadily cuts through valleys and plains to finally mingle with the ocean.At no stage does it distinguish between living beings and allows all to dip into the same and offer their prayers and homages without becoming complacent. Along the way its waters are used for irrigation and navigation and it allows selfless service without anything in return.
Nature is beautiful in its own way. Be it the clouds setting in during sunset or the twinkling of stars or the sweet pitter patter of raindrops, a beholder needs to have the eye to appreciate the same in every corner of the earth irrespective of his financial or social status.
The districts of bengal have as much beauty as the lake districts in the UK.The green carpet, the yellow mustard fields, the silent ponds have a passive beauty of their own which Rabindranath Tagore so well highlighted.
As Ralph Emerson rightly said that Nature is equally beaitiful everywhere, the difference lies in the skill of the beholder.
