We live in a wonderful world - a divine world full of bliss and godliness. But we are so busy in our mundane life and take everything for granted as they are gifted so abundantly by the Nature that our senses have become numb and we fail to derive the blissful and sublime pleasure gifted by the Nature.
You pass through a rose garden, but you turn a blind eye to the beautiful flowers because you do not spare time 'to stay and stare', thinking that you have seen thousands of flowers like them before.Give a thought and you will appreciate that every flower is unique; it has never blossomed before, nor will it ever blossom again. Every petal has its own unique existence,texture, size and shape,colour and fragrance, and reflects golden morning sun rays differently through morning dew dangling on it.It is impossible to find another flower like this again anywhere on this earth.
Agreed, you have seen thousands of flowers like this before, but what those thousands of flowers have got to do with this unique one? The fact that you have seen thousands of such flowers before has made you blind to the uniqueness of the flowers presently before you and you miss the joys of blissful and pristine beauty just before you.On many of the occasions, similar is the case when you hear some beautiful music or smell some fragrance or touch something smooth and silky or taste something indescribable. Thus we miss a lot - the whole world! After all, what is this world? It is what we perceive through our senses.Thus the world is dead if we fail to perceive it fully with our senses.
So the need is to spare some time 'to stay and stare' and develop our senses to remain alert and receptive to be stirred up by the joyful divine things all around us. There is also a need to teach and train our children to perceive minutely and appreciate the things of the Nature. The life and the world in which we live will become so beautiful for us and our children.
