Nature, God and Love

Somehow, I feel nature, love and God are interconnected. When I see the beautiful snowcapped mountains, the vast boundless seas and oceans, the sweet songs of cuckoos, the chirping of birds, the beauty of the rising sun, the blooming flowers spreading its fragrance all around, the lovely vast beaches, the greenery on either side of the flowing rivers, the ponds filled with lotus and lilies, my heart fills with glee, and at that moment, I forget all my miseries, sorrows, guilt, aims, goals and the material world.

I can feel the surge of emotions encompassing me and I let myself drown in the blissful sweetness of nature. My eyes widen involuntarily in wondrous amazement. I can sense the presence of God in the caress of the gentle breeze, the heady smell of flowers, the touch of the frothy waves on my feet, the buzz of the bees, the sweetness of the nectar, the thin screen of early morning fog, the soft sting of the rain drops, the colours on the rainbow, and much more. The sensation cannot be expressed in words. Is this the Omnipresence of the Omnipotent? Oh! Yes, it is. The feeling goes deep down within me and awakens my inner consciousness. My mind stops thinking and I can feel calmness encircle me. That feels like heaven.

Slowly when I come out of the reverie, I am overwhelmed by the love of God. The boundless flow of love sweeps me along with it. What a beautiful feeling? It is an amazing realization. I become one with God. I can feel the power of God. Now, I am fully aware of myself. I think about all the bloodshed and holy wars carried out in the name of this ever loving God. There is so much of hatred, intolerance, terrorism and violence in this world, legalized in the name of God. When will people understand this? When will they learn to live in peace? These things have to be understood by people and are very difficult to profess. Love is God and God is love. So, with love you can accomplish anything you want in life. Go, conquer the world with love.
