– IMMORTALITY AND DEATH BOTH RESIDE IN THE BODY, DEATH COMES FROM TEMPTATION AND IMMORTALITY FROM THE TRUTH.
Now you must be wondering why have I started my article with dark words like death, temptation, etc, haha! Don’t worry we won’t be talking about any Illuminati stuff. This shlok is derived from our Vedas which is best suited in today’s world, how? That I will explain to you.
My three-year-old son who is always curious about everything around him asked me one very simple question very innocently which actually made me think. I quote
” Why this corona came ? ”
Then I started brainstorming, there are so many theories made up about from where it came, how will we survive, what will happen afterward etc , but why it came was a real eye-opener. I asked myself who is the real intruder we the people or this virus?
Not many years ago we humans started creating this world just for us, we rejected the structural and environmental process of god and thought why not take everything in our hands, and in the name of inventions lets pollute this earth more and more. We didn’t wanted much just to cater our needs like cars, ships, jet for travelling, and not only one but more as one is not enough for us humans we also have to show off otherwise what’s the point in earning so hard if we can’t show off? Right! anyway so, we invented new design buildings by cutting forest because we can’t live in forests we are not animals we need luxurious bungalows we might sleep in just one master room but still we need to have at least two more rooms maybe someday we might needs to sleep in other room due to mood swings.
Who eats in old aged earthenware when there is borosil and other plastic biodegradable utensils and to add value to the supply chain and product lets term them as less micron plastic, so what if all this waste gets dumped in the oceans and our sea animals die nicely wrapped up in these plastics.
After going through these conditions we felt the need of the hour is that now we should rectify our error so lets start with “save the oceans” mission lets contribute towards clean rivers,oceans, but how? Ans-lets throw charity dinners, and in these events we will again waste food, will use plastic decorations and increase pollution by travelling loud music etc. We will also start mission rallies but soon we will forget the mission and will make it religious or political.
Our mind is so much vigilant that we cannot stop,even after so many inventions and progress we are not content so once again a new era of startups arrived but this time it was different as now everybody wanted to run a successful business suddenly, there was a tsunami of new ideas and how can we forget gender equality why should only males participate in this destruction all genders should come together.
With these startups came whole new world of trade, business opportunities which resulted in more office structures more road traffics more need of resources, more industries, more air traffic, more netwotk towers because we have to reach to every corner of world no land should be left to explore as we have to maintain our travel blogs, hike up our insta stories and WhatsApp has become our only mode of communication with whole family.
So congratulations to all for acquiring three major elements of a mother Earth- Sea, Earth, Space.
What a method of development as we have destroyed her more rather than healing our mother nature.
But wait how can we settle here only Let’s go to outer space and pollute it too by providing various astronomical devices to provide us weather reports, GPS data, better networks etc.what is the use of these data? Ans-To predict storms, seasons, temperature.
Really! Then how come Tsunami killed so many people, Katrina storm destroyed millions of lives and why farmers are still facing troubles because of constant weather change.
The point is simple we humans can only predict to some point but can’t alter or change nature’s course of action so what’s the point of this fight!
Back to square one question , why this corona came, the answer is -it came to teach us who we are, to bring us together to value time and family more than other tangible assets, to learn to communicate with real expressions not with emojis, to value our 2 am friends not the tik toc, Instagram, FB followers or subscribers, not to shop in a click but to shop as per the necessity, not to put filters on photos or videos instead on our hearts and thoughts, not to put lock code on phones, but on pollution.
The side effects of corona was the sound of claps and positivity were still heard but not on meaningless political bhashans but to applaud the real heroes.
No flights or planes can be seen but our kids viewed clear blue skies for the first time and to top it is up beautiful birds hovering. The oceans, rivers, seas all have turned their color and life has started again. So once again this lockdown which is classified as a pandemic turned out to be an advantage for nature.
We did so much hard work, inventions to rise the economy and nature in just a few months changed the whole dynamics of money value, so who is stronger we or mother earth!
The bottom line is corona was an appointed staff by the humans who evolved with us but shook hands with nature to make us realize our faults and remind us that
Nature Is Still Beyond Our Comprehension
