Life and Spirituality

When one bases one’s life on greed, lies, hate and other forms of evil, then extent of punishment of such persons and when it should begin is decided by Universal Consciousness in keeping with the personality and deeds of such persons.
When one bases one’s life on love, truth and simplicity and other forms of goodness then the extent of reward of such persons and when it should begin is decided by Universal consciousness in keeping with the personality and deeds of such persons.

However, the punishment is one of love like that from a loving parent to a child, for reform and education, never for retribution as human ones at times tend to be.
There is a gullible and foolish person who looks at evil ones and thinks, “look they are enjoying great wealth and power, let me also become like them and enjoy what this world has to offer, this talk of God and goodness is stupid talk designed by clever humans to enslave and exploit the rest,” for it is from among evil ones that most of the wealthy …

This blog has many notes describing different types of trees, their usefulness to the planet and on promoting the growth of more trees around the planet published over the last decade or so, as well as elsewhere and in books by the author. In this effort, this author has been inspired by the present Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, from a time much before he was the PM.

Most times the visits are from about half a dozen types of birds common in the area with the sparrows and the red tailed Bulbul being the friendliest. However, every now and then a special or different bird also makes a visit. Once in a while, a visit may be so special that it is a special message from Nature or as some say, an omen. I do not understand a lot of the language in which nature communicates with us but most definitely a lot more than my friends and most other humans simply because I have lived a more reclusive life in close companionship with nature over the last decade or more.
