Perception..







Harmony......

Yesterday , all of us from hexaware in bradford,UK went to see Hebden craggs. It is a beautiful walk by the side of a stream , surrounded by tall trees and forest like appearance . It was a lovely day and I have not seen such natural beauty till now . I instantly thought of penning down my experience when I come back. As I was walking along the sides of the stream I came to realise that the experience in the midst of this natural beauty is such that it cannot be described in words "cannot be described in words" hhh... an oft repeated statement but you have to feel it , experience it then only you realize and come to get acquainted with nature , which is forgotten in our daily routine of materialistic pursuit .

Going along the stream , engrossing myself in the surrounding beauty it struck me that its not external beauty . Its the internal beauty which we all possess but somehow it gets lost .Yes it gets lost in the mindless human pursuits of ambition . Sometimes forgetting your ambition and clearing your mind can take you to a new high . you come to realize that there is much more to life , much more than your narrow mind can take . you have to open your mind to endless possibilities . The stream represents that element which has no ambition, it is small ,it has no desire to become a river or sea but still its beauty is no less than a sea or river. We have to realize that its not how big or great in size you are that determines your value but how beautifully you fit in a group or system to make the world more beautiful that determines your value .

"Harmony" such a beautiful word ,wait a minute I think its the best word in English . That place which i was absorbing so intently was in perfect harmony . No wild motions and no chaos . I was surprised how can it be in such a harmony . Lack of ambition in the elements of the system creates a sort of tendency to go with the flow of nature and this tendency creates this perfect harmony . I don't think an average human mind will attain that perfect harmony but even if it achieves harmony once in a while I think we will be well on our way to enjoy life.
