Learn order and organization : Pujya Gurudev

Learn order and organization from the world of nature 

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma acharya

Our earth is inhabited by myriads of living beings. Among them, man has undoubtedly the most evolved consciousness by virtue of his superior intellect and other higher potentialities. But, at the same time, he is prone to commit the mistake of looking down upon the lower forms of life as petty and insignificant. 
This is not proper. If man, in spirit of humility and curiosity, were to observe closely the life-patterns of sub-human species, he will find there much to learn from, and he will be overwhelmed by the display of practical wisdom, understanding and unique abilities with which Mother Nature has endowed them. 

This experience will, on the one hand, reinforce his faith in the even handedness and fair play of the Creator and, on the other, he may find there some instructive models of behavior for betterment of his own life-models which these supposedly lowly creatures follow diligently to lead a contented and healthy life. Let us take the example of black-bee in this respect. Rest is anathema to the black-bee. It collects pollen from three to four hundred flowers during the day. It is noteworthy that this collection is made from only one species of flowers at a time. Its community has three classes  males king, females and workers. By the fall of winter, all the members die leaving only a few females. 

The latter have to negotiate the hard time of winter eating only the leftover crumbs. With the onset of spring, the famished female begins to build its habitat patiently and, with gradual breeding, a new life cycle starts. 
Black-bees are totally untouched by greed; hence there is no question of hiding the laboriously collected nectar. Another example is that of the honeybee which leaves even the black-bee behind in terms of toil and sweetness. It is not for nothing that the adage "busy as bee" has been associated with this tiny creature. Its enterprise and diligence is unparalleled. It has to make about forty thousand ferries just to make half a liter of honey; each trip of two to three kilometers: thereby making it to cover a distance of three round trips of the earth for this labor. 

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
