SEED !
I think the best creation God has ever made or the universe has ever received is a "Seed". The seed of a plant. When a plant creats a Seed for its next progeny it provides all its nutrition, knowledge in form of genes for future along with safety precautions.
What a Seed actually needs to grow? It requires a healthy and safe environment which the soil provides it. A Seed when planted or fallen on its own on the ground it waits ! It waits patiently for the appropriate time to open up and grow better. Now once it starts growing it only knows to give !
The moment a plant, shrub, herb, vegetable starts growing it gives justice to the soil in which it is growing. Any plant's leaves are useful for multiple purposes. If it's a good plant we can eat it's leaves, fruits use flowers for decoration, worship and as a donation. If it's a bad plant it helps other plants from attacks and environmental casualties. Like wise each plant gives one or the other thing to its surrounding beings.
Plants provide food for humans, animals, birds, insects, worms and micro-organisms.
It also provides shelter to all of these beings. Birds beautifully use plant leaves, small thread kind of flexible sticks to build the nests and to carry on their progeny. Animals lie under the shadow of a plant, scratch the trunks of a tree with nails but the tree still stands out strong!
The branches of a plant spread in such a way that it actually helps birds little one to fly or not to fall on the ground while learning.
Every plant has its own intuitions and knowledge about surrounding. Plants can sense energy of their neighbourhood. If a plant is attacked by any infection it purposely reduces new growth of leaves or flower so that the infection doesn't increase and spread much.
When plant shreds their leaves, flowers it falls on the same soil and gives back what it has taken or multiplied in many forms. It again makes the soil rich by dissolving itself and by returning the nutritional values once consumed.
In such ways a plant teaches us a lot.
A plant teaches us patience.
To give justice to the mother soil which gives it a place to grow in multiple ways.
To surrender towards nature and other beings by not expecting anything but just love and care in an absolute silent way.
It also teaches us gratitude. If we take fruits and flowers from a plant it doesn't stop producing it, it again creates with a new energy and sweetness!
Because somewhere down the line in the ground a Seed has promised its mother soil to only give.
And at last it submerges itself in the same mother soil by returning new minerals and supplements for soil to become abundant for many progeny's to come.
This all begins by just a Seed. All of us have one seed within us which actually resembles who we are ! Always keep that seed alive.
Be always like a Seed keep growing and giving what ever we have in abundance, Life will be better and satisfactory !
