the old jamun tree
the old jamun tree seemed to preach wisdom
while birds were singing the songs of life
in the bright mid-day sun the whole forest was glowing with beauty and splendor
the divine power in the infinite mercy seemed to care for all
the earth was supporting all alike
while the heaven spreading its wings of protection stood as a blessing and benediction to all beings
the far-away mountains looked blue
while the adjacent hills were very green
nature was reveling and rejoicing in all glory
whenever your eyes turned towards the face of nature
to her ever-changing moods and expressions
always something new
she left you almost dumb and spellbound
now you saw her here
then you found her there
and at the same time you could see her everywhere
while the twinkling stars spoke of her faraway presence
the sun and the moon were like her luminous eyes shedding the light of benediction on all
she was smiling in the flowers
but was found weeping in the rain
while she was running with the wind
and dancing with the breeze
she was found greatly agitated in the storm
in different seasons she presented herself draped in gorgeous colors
the bare hills of the summer became the green forest
both in the spring flowers
and in autumnal leaves she showed herself in all her glories
while the mountains echoed her voice
her fury was evident in the roaring waves of the turbulent oceans
her gracious beauty was visible in the calm lakes
in the murmur of the running brooks
and in the gentle flow of the river
while watching all sorts of birds
beasts and numerous other creatures of the forest
it became clear that nature cared equally for all
she provided them all with the air
water and sunlight
and they all managed to get their day's fill without any government
money-medium and bureaucratic set-up
the great drama of nature
going on before one's eyes
scene after scene
without artificialities
pretensions and simulations
was the most fascinating sight in life
sitting on the door-step
you saw varieties of birds coming and going
playing and singing
kites eagles spotted-doves mynas woodpeckers fly-catchers jungle babblers robins jungle fowls parrots parakeets blue pigeons sparrows and little squirrels are a familiar sigh to be seen
when going into the depths of the forest
one is able to see many other rare varieties of birds
quite often the singing of a certain bird would be promptly joined in by one or two birds of the same species
and it would be continued for a while
their songs were so sweet
and pleasant to listen
that you often got lost in the fathomless ocean of joy
perhaps man is the most dangerous of all beings
and this is obvious from the fact that all other living creatures on the earth flee from his presence in dreadful fear
man's inhumanity to man has gone to such an extent that people in these modern days manage to kill more people in one year than all the so-called savages of the olden days could do in centuries
by recklessly exterminating the flora and fauna for profit
pleasure and pastime
man has forfeited his claim to culture and humanity
it was a large and beautiful pond
somewhat rectangular in shape
it was a boon to numerous birds and beasts living in the forest
during the summer many wild elephants would come there to drink water
and their thundering roar could be often heard
a winding road leading to the main highway ran along its eastern bank
while on the western side was the dense forest
over its cool
limpid and placid waters
many lotus leaves and flowers were floating
a few kingfishers were there with their fascinating way of catching their prey
suddenly when the wind blew from the north
those plants and flowers on the bank began to swing and dance
some of them even touching the water while bending and dancing with joy
joy and beauty struck you dumb with a sense of wonder
and you stood there for a few minutes
as if dazed
completely forgetful of yourself
while truth exists as the light of consciousness embracing all in oneness
respectability and conventionality are the false and imitative norms of society
to a thoughtful and intelligent person they are nothing but a horror
and he therefore keeps aloof from them
when these norms plot together
and work out their strategy
they become a threat to man's true individuality which is not opposed to universality
and his harmonious relationship with all
the eyes were seeing the objective world of nature and its phenomena
yet no impression was left in the mind
having tended with love and care
the rose plants and fruit trees were like children and they had become your constant company and companions
you had seen them a million times
yet whenever you gazed them with a new mind and a loving heart
they looked ever fresh and more beautiful in your eyes
while they accepted you as a part of their being
you had nothing but deep love and affection for them
whenever you went near them
you silently talked to them and asked of their welfare and they seemed to reciprocate your feeling
in their loving company you did not miss anything in life
as far as possible you wanted to avoid human company whenever people came to you making various demands or for their frivolous talks and useless discussions
but these lovely trees plants flowers birds and squirrels never made you bore at any time
while birds were singing the songs of life
in the bright mid-day sun the whole forest was glowing with beauty and splendor

ihmisen mieli
tutut sanat
elämän ylellisyyttä
ilmaa ikkunasta
siinä olet
istun koneen ääressä
taivalta kaikkineen
kirjoitan lauseeni loppuun
olla olemassa
vaikutusta kaikki
kaikki kaikkineen
siinä se
vapaata virtausta
