The Lost Secret of Nature

The beauty and serenity of nature serve not just as a sanctuary for human existence but as a mirror, inviting us to look within ourselves and uncover the true meaning of life.

The towering mountains, the lush branches of trees, and the serene waters of the lake hold a silence that appears simple yet conceals a profound mystery. This scene is like a dream, where light and shadow intertwine to narrate the truth of existence. But is it merely beauty, or does it conceal a deeper reality?

The beauty of nature raises a question: Was this scene created solely for the human eye, or is its presence part of a greater purpose? The towering peaks remind us of our limitations, while their solid and unyielding forms challenge human fragility. The lake’s tranquility points toward the path of inner peace but also reminds us that beneath calmness lie depths and secrets.

The ripples on the water symbolize the flow of time, an unstoppable force. They remind us that time and nature are realities beyond human control. This raises another question: If we are subject to these truths, what is our role? Are we mere observers, or are we participants in the grand chain of creation?

This scene also teaches us that within nature’s beauty lies the beauty of contrast. The towering mountains, dense forests, and tranquil lake together create a complete picture, just as life’s various aspects are incomplete without one another. It compels us to think that human existence, too, is a blend of contradiction and harmony.

And yet, one question lingers: What is the purpose of it all? The heights of mountains, the depths of the lake, and the spread of light�"what grand mystery do they belong to? Is it all mere coincidence, or does it carry a divine purpose? Human nature has always been restless in seeking answers to such questions, but perhaps this very quest is what gives meaning to life.

This scene is a mirror, reflecting not only the grandeur of nature but also the depth of human existence. It reminds us that we are connected to nature and that its beauty and secrets are mirrored within us. While gazing upon it, one ponders that perhaps true peace and answers lie hidden in the silence of nature, and this silence guides us to understand ourselves.

For much of my life I have been a student of Sufism. We believe the same Truths lie at the heart of the world’s major religions, and nature is our chapel. I read with great respect your writing in your profile about your relationship with Hinduism and what it offers the world.

While I relate to much of your story, to be honest, I felt like I was being lectured. It felt impersonal, there was no YOU in it. I would like to see you write a poem, limit yourself to the number of words you use, and speak of the essence of your story as coming from your own heart.

Infinite Light

I have wandered through the alleys of Sufis,
Breathing in the fragrance of dreams,
Where every path, every moment,
Is bathed in the light of love.

Neither mosque nor temple, neither church nor Kaaba,
Everywhere, there is but one radiance.
In the whispers of the wind, in the waves of the river,
The same melody, the same call resounds.

Beneath my feet, even the dust glows,
The sky bows down in silent prayer.
Love alone is the ultimate truth,
And all else is but an illusion.

This is a really beautiful poem, in three verses it gives one a strong feel for the beautiful essence of Sufism, of all true spiritual paths really. I would love to see you write poetry like this that speaks of your love for Hinduism. Keep it short for we write of spiritual paths that are alien to many of our readers, and it’s easy to lose a reader’s attention. There’s always time for another poem, another story. You have led such an interesting life I would love to see you write poetry and stories that are autobiographical, write about key moments that were really special for good or bad. Heck, I’ve written about the horrors of detox, that was extra-special! LOL Best of luck, I would be honored to be your friend.
