Life is Unity in Diversity


What is life? This question always rises in my mind when alone. When it’s my life, why don’t I feel complete when alone or in company? My life is not just myself. It is along with people around me, the nature around me and the activity that is going on in the entire Universe. I am just a particle in the Universe. This Universe with all its living and non living beings is ONE. Everything in this nature including me is part of it. So it is Unity in Diversity.
We think we come alone on to this earth and leave it all alone. Is any person is alone, single? We know that Ovum fertilized by sperm starts it new life. In humans, the life of mature ovum that is released is only 48 hours and that of sperm is 72 hours. But when they come together and fuse into one another a new life starts and its life is hundred years or more. When separate the life of ovum and sperm is just few hours. But when join and give up their identity the life is so very prolonged. Togetherness in harmony brings extended life.
My life is not single life. I am harmonious unity of different entities. If I am living in harmony with nature abiding by its rules and being part of it my life will be eternal. As I am part of nature protecting nature is my duty. It is self serving responsibility. To know it is only part of learning. To practice it is realization.
