The river, the filth and we human beings.
The life, the nature teaches us, and we learn throughout
our life if we are aware of ourselves. The problems come and it indicates that
you are continuously doing something, as running water face obstructions, stagnant
water does not.
Let not the problems overcome your faith in yourself. Learn
to handle them and you will witness that they will pass eventually, as nothing
is permanent, but the life and liveliness is.
Observe, that sometimes a lot of filth come with the
water, it can obstruct, choke, sometimes force the river to divert its path,
discolour its water. But the river never stops, it keeps flowing, it lets the
filth, the mud flow away slowly and slowly and eventually the water become
crystal clear, it regains its colour and beauty, it resumes its path. All that
could happen because the river endures, it faced the problems.
Running river indicates liveliness, hope, vibrancy, and
life. Once it gets stagnant, algae start growing over it and develop into algal
bloom. Stagnation kills life and eventually the river dies.
Same is the case with we human beings, we also get
overburdened with problems, but if we can endure and handle the problems with
wisdom and knowledge of our own self, we flourish again as if the problems were
nowhere around us.
The nature is a kind and a gentle master, it teaches us
everyday various philosophies and the rules of life. Be with it and it will be
with you. It has a permanent and invaluable gift of generosity for you much
better than the organized regimes, teachings and mysterious, imaginative
manifestations of the world which teaches you to become partial, presumptive,
insecure and artificial at every step of life.
