DEVINE CONNECTION

Many a times, I have observed that we attach some kind of importance to some things in life. In most of the cases, we do not know the reasons for such attachments. It could be with people, pet animals, surroundings, or even with nature. Just observe that when ever there is a proposal to go out for a weekend or a holiday, the destination is something like a forest, river bed, sea shore, water falls, or mountain or even desert. Why do we feel good by going to such places? Answers vary from person to person.  Surprisingly, none of these so called places speak to us. They do not even know who we are and how wealthy we are? One more interesting observations is that they do need us. It is we who go in search of them.

What is the strong bond between us and the place? Is it the company or the holiday mood or the change of environment or is it something to do with heart to heart talk with nature!!! Even I do not know.

We (sorry, I) claim that we know our family members very well. Except for the general information about the date of birth, blood group, interests and hobbies, work place and designation, I really do not know much about my family members about their connection with specific field of nature. Recently we visited the Niagara Falls in U.S. The panoramic view was simply breath taking. Hour’s together one could simply stand and watch the fall. Temperature was freezing. It appeared as though Clouds merged with water and both were falling together.  Water fall was just glorious, aggressive, violent and touch-me-not kind. Cold waves were forcing people to go to cozy places at the earliest.

My brother must have visited this falls umpteen number of times prior to my visit. His excitement was worth seeing. Sub zero degree bothered him the least. He selected a place and stood there silently. Probably he must have been interacting with each and every sheet of water. I could see there was a magic between him and water.(which he could not even touch) he was on a different level altogether. He gaze kept on telling dancing water how much he missed her. Reluctantly he came back and sat in the car. Just after fastening the seat belts, he wanted to go back and be with his divine nature for some more time. Very amusing I thought! A connection, which is so personal, a comfort zone that is shared only by two individuals silently.

Yet, another friend of mine also has the same type of intense connection. She drives you crazy if you do not join her to see the sunset or sunrise. She takes pains to reach the terrace to send the Sun God home safely. She does not respond to any body when she is having a date with Sun. Her face is cheerful and vibrant when there is no disturbance in visual contact. Suddenly she frowns at the clouds if they stand between her and the Sun. She looks as though she can conquer the world if she has seen the sunrise to her heart’s content. I have seen her mummer something as an extension of the conversation with Sun. She says that she gets a chance to pour her heart out twice a day. How nice I thought! No body forced to have this passion. Her system guided to do so. This need not hold good for others.

I am fortunate to have some more friends who have a real dialogue with nature. One of them has a fancy in conversing with sky. He has discovered a place in the city which is like a macchan in the forest. You see him absolutely fresh and charged when he spends good time with his sky.  Such people are never bored to be alone. They take their time off to be with their divine connection. There is no give and take business. It is magical and pure bliss. This is such an attraction which is only to felt by every individual.
