Nature has three seasons! Winter, Summer and Monsoon. Every season has its own significance in the life cycle but Monsoon, has the appeal!
People have different opinions (Positive or Negative) for this beautiful season but to me this very season is the season of festival to the Nature. It is the time when Mother Nature changes her clothes after 8 months and puts on a new color - Green, as if she has applied a make over of a new bride to herself ! It is so soothing to eyes and to our soul.
When it rains, the only thing which floats is Peace ! The environment is deeply peaceful in this season. The life - the movements - the animals - the trees and plants,all, stop ! The only sound audible is the sound of rain. The sound which gives life to life. The sound which is so rejoicing. The sound which showers happiness.
In our so-called "Cultured" society system, many of us generally find it difficult to express our natural instinct, our original nature which is free and far from ego, which is down to earth, which is innocent like a child. But due to this so-called world of mannerism and etiquette, we hesitate and deny to enjoy, to rejoice, to celebrate freely as it seems foolish to the society.
But when it rains - "Is it raining outside? Wow !", almost this is the reaction of everyone. "Rain ! Let us do something thrilling. Let us Dance. Let us go outside and get wet. Let us eat hot snacks and have some tea. Let us roam in the rain. Let us Enjoy!"
See? This is us! The very season of Rain has THIS much deeper appeal to everyone who is alive! Only in this season, we see the animals, creatures and humans very energetic. In no other season, we tend to have the feeling of excitement which, we do possess in this season. This is because the rainy season delivers the message to flow, to shower, to celebrate.
When I find someone saying that they don't like Monsoon just because roads get dirty and nature looks terrible, I've to take a long breath! How is that Rains make you aware, only about the mud? Why can't we see the other side which is more beautiful and promising.
In this season, Nature is at peak of Kindness. The rain fall is just like the blessings of God to the farmers who await for this moment to happen since they begin the farming. It is the time when the seed grows unto the trees, unto the grains. The food for the whole world is prepared in this season by nature and we just hate this delighting and blissful season just because, it makes our clothes wet and dirty? We catch cold and fever due to rain? We can't go to our job and can't perform our duties well just because it is raining and we don't want to get outside?
We should understand this! We should understand that how boring we have made our life! Nature has tried its best to give us almost everything to enjoy but we forget, we ignore, we escape, we hate.
Friends, this is the season of Celebration! Just watching the rain may also click in your mind than what not can be done to our psyche,if we just go outside of our roofs/raincoats/umbrellas and enjoy the rain? Believe me, the nature has nothing to harm us. It is we, who have made our life miserable and boring. This is the season, when there is natural joy in the air. If we can't be a part of that joy now, then when?
What great harm can cold/fever do to us? A few tablets? That's it! If we have enough time to look around, we will for sure find those who have no shelter and still they're fit! They don't get any cold or fever in this season. It is we who have be fooled our own selves by chanting this mantra - That rain is not good to health. If we can bring some courage to be there in the rain, we will find our selves merged with the nature because this is the time to be in the nature. Harmful is not to get wet in the rain, harmful is-not to be there in the rain. We have shrunk our minds! I don't say that fever doesn't come there. Yes it comes but only then when we don't have good immunity. Just due to bad habits of eating, we have damaged our armour and have been missing the chance.
If you get fever/cold, it is good. Good because, it is indicating that
you've a bad immunity - Do something for that. So dare to take
fever/cold at least once in Monsoon by being in the Rains. It is so delighting.
Just Be there when it rains! Close your eyes and open your arms to greet the blessings and Dance! I am sure you will never want to miss this chance again!
Happy Monsoon!!!
