Static Nature & Dynamic Man

As the man or woman grows in age, he watches nature or his environs first as a child, then an adolescent, a young man, an adult, a middle-aged man and as an elderly man before he leaves the earth and his ‘atma’ leaves the human body/form. Things that appear giant or too big in size and shape to a child’s vision actually don’t change in physical status but the same child after growing in age views those very things in proper perspective and in actual status. ‘Atma’ or the knowledge of the human body gets updated and adjusted according to the human’s needs and understanding.

Nature gets disturbed and keeps changing marginally as the humans deal with it in their inimical style. At times such interventions accommodate man’s greedy requirements up to a limit but little later nature too starts showing its annoyance or irritation in the form of Tsunami, El Nino/La nina, earthquakes etc. Man’s commission and omission lead to a devastating effect on the environs immediately but at the same time gradually but certainly afflicting the balance of nature. Man helplessly and consciously watches his own time passing fast and painfully realizing that his past days are not going to come again.

A kid keeps shaking its hands and legs hither and thither most of the time kicking at the body of mother and father in whose lap it happens to be lying. The kid expresses it needs by screaming and crying in the absence of ability to speak and convey. A little grown-up child walks, moves, jumps, laughs, cries and screams, watches environs and people around and speaks the language known and beautifully and joyfully entertains parents and relatives till it reaches the adolescent stage.

An adolescent gets attracted by opposite gender in a natural way. Most of his free time is spent in fantasizing the presence or touch of an individual whom he loves and longs for. Nature brings out changes in his/her physique and mental calibre. He tries to view the environs in the true colours and strength. After obtaining a professional or vocational skill in a formal or informal way he/she becomes an adult and starts practicing for earning his bread/livelihood. Every individual around him senior and junior in age and experience helps in getting him to know of their ideas and understanding of his environs and objects/symbols of nature.

The man is in his fully-grown and ripe age starts appreciating, reviewing, reassessing and readjusting his thoughts and actions vis-à-vis those objects of nature which normally continue for ages and ‘yugas’. Man’s trivial length of life in comparison to the infinite age and indefinite change of nature in timeless future, man’s history, his knowledge of science and technology, the expanse of his brain power are all insignificant compared to the Creator’s designs and the charisma of cosmos in its time path.

Hail the Nature and Haul the Humans.
