Resurrection

Ages ago, I had collected a twilighty green lichen in the heights of Murex in Switzerland, from a rock perched on the path of a milky blue melting glacier stream and a blue green algae from the bank of lake Geneva. Two years later, I added an exactly similar specimen from a Himalayan stream in Kedarnath and a floating algae from the Ganga near Rishikesh.

Now 10 years down, all four specimens from diverse ends of the earth are still meditating together in a glass bottle, untouched & unspoiled by time (only the lichens are darker on the outside). In the humidity of Mumbai, where herb specimens rot fast, this is a miracle of nature.

On the outside, pollution may deface environment, nut the pristine purity underlying nature is still the same. Look carefully at a fossilized tree gum or leaf. They are frozen mirrors of your own life force. Like the one consciousness, there is the same crystal steam flowing through the veins of each living entity.

And when we pool pure energies together, we can rejuvenate our dying streams. Art of Living manifested that vision on the banks of Jamuna in Delhi. For months, 100,000 homes in and around Delhi prepared enzymes and started adding them to the dead river. Previously no animal would come near, now the buffalos have started coming in the water. The enzymes and pure intentions of dedicated Art of Living citizens, unaffected, like Buddhas, by the wasteful commotion around them, are giving new life to the river Jamuna.  #WCF2016
