NATURAL MEDITATION


Nature is a great teacher for any student of the Self Realization. Sages and Yogis explained that the secret of enlightenment is ‘Simply to BE’, to live in harmony with our true nature.

This is the lesson that Mother Nature incessantly trying to teach us. Unlike us, the elements of nature do not have ego. They go about whatever their Dharma is without making up a whole drama about it – the bird sings, the wind blows, the sun rises and the leaf leaves the tree, JUST LIKE THAT.

An elephant is probably not walking around wondering how it should be or wishing that its body were a different shape. The waterfall does not have to choose to be beautiful- IT JUST IS.

Whereas the problem of human being is to look different or to look better, comparison is one other problem. These are the root cause of his misery. Beautiful or ugly is perhaps the problem of human being not the bird, sun, wind, leaf or the elephant.
