Nature in Litreature

Many of the great literature works on nature took birth centuries ago and are still relevant. Daffodils by William Wordsworth goes
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;"
He knew that we humans are just a part of this vast nature. To enjoy the beauty we have to immerse in it and he wanted to be like a cloud that sees everything and floats in the sky.

One can enjoy something only when he is calm as the white mountains. To be calm and serene it requires patience and will. To enjoy the calmness and aesthetics of nature one does not have to grow intellectual as Samuel T Coleridge, or Wordsworth or Robert Frost. He only has to see what the mother nature got to show him. He should have a mind like water which is ready to flow.


The words of Shakespeare "And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything" shows how a man can learn from nature and all has to have is a free mind.

Nature is the mother of all wisdom. They are twins bound to each other. Never does nature say a thing and wisdom another.

  1. You do wrong things to nature and you'll see it turn against you. But a man wise man doesn't want to make trouble to anyone.
    So.. my point is,there are times when "nature say a thing and wisdom another".

    1. wise is different to from knowledge. Wisdom. It's being aware of something, and having information. Knowledge is really about facts and ideas that we acquire through study, research, investigation, observation, or experience. Wisdom is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your life. Nature does reflect the actions of humans. And wise people have their own way to get things done. No cooperation movement, satyagraha, did no harm at sight but was more powerful than any violence. Thus nature is coinciding with wisdom and not knowledge

Why has Politics Gone Wrong??

India was the land of sages in the past. There was a time when we Indians were known for good . And speaking of politics there were people like Gandhi who were selfless and had vision of a prosperous india which would have been a heaven to live on. But where has it gone wrong?India seems to have a progress towards immorality. Its a great miracle how these criminals,thieves,rapists have managed to enter politics and its another wonder how they managed to get elected.    Its sad that even common people have become crooked.The world gets more complex per second and so people gets crooked. Bad people need bad leaders to lead them. The politics have grown to be a dirty game of money and muscle power, whereas it was a service to the nation.People gradually learned the business of politics and understood  the flow of resources behind it and learnt to exploit it for their own selfishness. When the rich and the powerful entered the game of politics the morale of politics ca...

Fear And Failure

American President Mr Franklin D Roosevelt once said "The only thing we have to fear is fear". Fear is the feeling of anxiety concerning the outcome of something or the safety of someone or the likelihood of something unwelcome happening. Fear is an unwanted emotion that will let you from thinking clearly and solve issues. Fear is a false anticipation of  something to go wrong.Fear is a necessary evil. Fear often helps you in physical situations  by boosting adrenalin. But in mental and intellectual troubles fear is an adverse factor. When fear is inflicted it reduces your ability to think and lead you by instincts. Shakespeare in one of his famous dramas said "When you fear a foe, fear crushes your strength ; and this weakness gives strength to your opponents"  It is same in the case of problems in life. When you begin to fear them they will only grow. But rather when you start to face them you will see they will begin to melt away like ice. There is no life a...

Parting ways

 "What would you say if I ask you out?" asked him. The question startled her mildly, for she always thought of him as her friend. It was quite unusual of him to ask, she thought.  It was a beautiful day in the park. The sky was blue and the sun shone brightly. Children were playing at distance. They were walking along the pavement, looking at the kids playing.  "Hey," he called her.  "Well hypothetically, I might not create a scene, but I don't want a relationship now." Said she.  It's what he expected all along. For he never wanted to upset her. After all, it's only a miracle if a girl in this world would go out with me, he thought.  She thought, it' s been over a year since I met him. We had a good time. Now he's asking all the wrong questions. He asked few questions. That's what I liked about him.  He came to her asking for a donation to help the homeless while they were in College. A guy like that, smart, charming and witty. He ...
