Almighty’s Masterpiece: Essence(Nature)

In the previous blog, we understand that we all are artist but in this one I’ll talk about the supreme power: The Almighty(God) who created essence means nature which includes mountains, rivers, flora and fauna of the Earth. The best artist is the God who created all the wonderful artists i.e. humans with unique talent & abilities.

All of you can see this blog because you have eyes. What if we could see only black color like blind people? What would happen if we could see real-world black & white like old movies? What if we could only see ceratin colors? The answer is life seems dull.

Now think other way, what would happen if nature was not so colorful? Imagine the color of all the birds, animals, flowers are same. Then it would become difficult for us to differntiate and like written before it seems dull. Imagine the color of all natural element is different than actully it has for example, tree leaves are blue. Then it seems weird.

Imagine about other elements with different colors. But these natural elements looks beautiful as it is and that is the creativity of God. The almighty has choose wonderful and wide range of colors to decoarte this world. By the way, all these is inspired by lyrics of our chilhood favorite song from Taare Zameen Par movie. Now, listen this song.

एसी रंगों भरी अपनी दुनिया है क्यों? सोचो तो, सोचो ना, 
[Why is our world so colorful? Just think about it,]
प्यार से चुन के इन रंगों को किसीने सजाया ये संसार है,
[Someone has decorated this world with these colors lovingly,]
इतनी सुन्दर है अपनी दुनिया, उपरवाला क्या कोई कलाकार है?
[Our world is so beautiful, is the one above(God) an artist?]
                                            

Did you notice these lines? These song is written by famous writer, poet, lyricist Prasoon Joshi. What would happen if the world around us was not so colorful? But the God has perfectly decorated and arranged whole world with proper colors to each flower, animal and bird. He has provided different features, abilities, place and atmosphere to all the living beings. Almighty is the best artist and nature is the best art. And in this nature also you will find different art forms like music, dance, grace etc.

Different arts of the God that we found in nature:

Music:

Try to remember these sounds you heard: sounds of leaves, waterfalls, rainfall, snowfall, animals, chirrup & whistles of birds, humming of wind and buzing sound of bees. Thesse natural music is more relaxing than human created music.

Dance, Beauty & Grace:

Uniqueness/ Creativity:

Everyday at sunrise and sunset God fills the sky with unique shades of colors like the sky is canvas for him. Our deity is so creative that he has given people with different fingerprints and even their faces. (P.s.: Twins have same faces but scientifically every face is unique.)

Human-like skills of birds and animals:

People have some skills by born while some skills can be developed by training. Similarly, we see some animals and birds performing stunts and entertaining us. Certain breeds of dogs are trained for detection tasks in military. Here, tap to the link to see the story of an elephant with the talent of painting.

Even people learn some qualities inspired by other living beings on the earth like loyalty like dog, teamwork like bees, ants. People are given nicknames of animals based on their ability & nature like Sharda Sinha- an Indian folk classical singer is called Bihar Kokila(Cuckoo of Bihar).

Humans existence because of nature:

Here, I am not talking about the human nature. I am trying to draw your attention towards the environment. We all know that we humans exist because God has given us water to drink, air(oxygen) to breath, food to eat in form of vegetables, grains and fruits, other natural resources that we can use as raw material to produce goods that can satisfy our needs.

We can consume the milk and other dairy products because of domestic animals like cow, buffalo and goat. Think about what would happen if there was no chocolates which is made from milk. We get wool from sheep to make sweaters and natural sweetener in form of honey produced by honey bees and the most important thing about nature is that it provides employment to us in or other way.

Nature’s Therapeutic Benefits:

Getting therapy from nature includes immersing one self in nature to promote mental and physical well-being. It refers constantly spending time in natural places like forests, mountains and allowing mind and body to relax as you engage with the environment through all your senses-sight, sound, touch and smell.

It includes activities like spotting flowers, listening birds, spending time & playing with pet animals, watching water flows, gazing stars, enjoying the rain,watching clouds and painting in a green space using materials like clay, wood, grass. Research has shown that spending time in woods can significantly reduce cortisol levels, maintains blood pressure and decrease feeling of anxiety and stress.

Nature Therapy Techniques:

• Forest bathing
• Animal-assisted therapy
• Wilderness therapy
• Green exercise
• Meditation

Some amazing facts:

• Milk produced by female donkeys has been used for thousands of years for cosmetic purpose as well as infant nutrition.
• World’s most expensive & exclusive coffee-Kopi Luwak, is produced from coffee beans which have been partially digested by Indonesian palm civet(a breed of cat) and then excreted.
• Various perfume-making companies provide a categorywhich includes fregrence of first rain.

Gratitude:

We should be grateful to God for such a colorful and beautiful world. In India, it is a tradition to worship nature since ancient times like we consider all the rivers and earth as a mother and worship them like we worship Goddesses. We worship mountains & tress in some festivals like Chhat Puja & Vasant Panchami. But it is disheratening to see increasing pollution that harms the environment in the country which worship nature. At last I would like to conclude with a short story which I have heard somewhere.

Conclusion:

The person who makes the idol of God talks to God and says that “Oh God! You are an artist and I am also an artist. You have made countless idols like me and sent them to this earth. I have made countless idols of you and sold them on this earth. But Oh God! It is very painful when the idols made by you fight among themselves and harm/pollute the nature created by you while bow their heads in front of the idols made by me.”
