Wha the elements teach us?

[Guest guest]

Let us learn fine lessons from the five elements: Earth: Patience and forebearance are the virtues taught by earth. Whatever sacrilage man commits, earth remain mute and never reciprocates. Water: Water finds its level. It always seeks to flow through the ground and finally it remains either as a lake or joins in a river and seeks its source, the ocean. We must learn to remain humble and always try to reach the source, i.e., god.Fire: All impurities are burnt by the fire. It raises high. It gives heat and light. It converts everything into "Ash". We should also emulate the fire in scorching the bad traits in us and reach a desireless stage which is represented by 'ash'. If you further burn the ash, it remains still as 'ash' only. Next comes Air.Air never distinguishes between good or bad. It blows equally to all. It gives the life sustaining breath to all bereft of which everything will be dead. We should never discriminate between good and evil and never hate any being based on their form or traits. All are embodiments of God. Lastly Sky: This is a greatest teacher. No reactions, no scars. Let any number of jets pass through the sky. In a few moments, even the white exhaust vanishes. Our mind should resemble a sky. Sky is blemishless. It never keeps anything. Everymoment it maintains in vacuam for ever. We should remain burdenless, without any reactions to the world and our own thoughts. Be just a witness of everything. A mute witness like a sky. Sairam.
