On today’s occasion of Earth’s Day I wanted to share with you a memory from Wildlife Sanctuary in India which was a remarkable reminder that we are part of Nature.
Anyone of us really is attracted by Nature, greenery, bushes, trees and flowers, there is primordial love and affection towards that – I call it a Green Heart.
First, I cried. Like I have been missing this place for years.
I saw complete rawness, pure Nature, powerful and still, shimmering in joy. With this immense feeling, separation melts. I realised that, this Green Heart is Nature of Mind. Since the very beginning…
With the help of local guide we have been shown pre-historic paintings. I remember learning about them since the very early years of school! I was super excited. Big smile.
Anyway…
They were so beautiful, simple and elegant, not primitive at all. I had a question…
What did make us (humanity) to create? Lead by this, I discovered mutual Love, lack of separation, because of such huge dependency on natural elements. And everything and everybody is made out of them! But in a process of wanting things more complicated, we lost connection, maybe not lost – covered, with ignorance, attachment, hatred… we all know.
I am truly inspired by Nature, and I will always be.
I apologise for my obscure behaviour, habits which brought pollution. I am sorry for being so attached to those habits. I am sorry for not recognising You, due to my own ignorance. I am sorry for not being disciplined enough and that it took me so long to find You… I am sorry for being so stupid. I am sorry that most of the time I cannot actually see You… I know You are there and because of that I should always have respective and open attitude.
Until end of time, I shall put constant effort, dedication, prayers, intentions and each smallest action only to fully recognise You, for the benefit of all beings which are as vast as space. You are my true home…
Your faithful child,
Marta
I rejoice to everyone who took commitment to completely transform their mind and I bow down to those who completed the path and now abide in the Nature of Mind and swim freely in the Ocean of Bliss without fear or doubt.
Fleeting moments
passing by
as leaves
dancing with a wind.
and I am on the way
with thoughts
no different
than
Leaves dancing on the wind.
I cannot see where does it come from.
