Listen To The Songs Of Nature

Swami Rama

The Himalayan sages taught me first the gospel of nature. Then I started listening to the music coming from the blooming flowers, from the songs of the birds and even from the songs of the smallest blade of grass and the thorn bush. In everything lives the evidence of the beautiful. If one does not learn to listen to the music of nature and appreciate her beauty, then that which impels man to seek love at its fountain may be lost int he remotest antiquity.

When one learns to hear the music of nature and appreciates her beauty, then his soul moves in harmony with the entire environment. When one learns to appreciate fully the profundity of nature in its simplicity, then thoughts flow spontaneously in response to the appeals of his delicate senses when they come in contact with nature.
