Lessons from Corona



What are the lessons we have learnt/learning from corona?

Even Gods are tired!
All the places of worship are closed! The Gods say, enough of your rituals, your mechanical prayers! You can still pray; all it needs is your pure mind and I will reply! Gods are taking a 14-day break from seeing the humans like Lord Jaganath takes every year before the Puri festival. It was amazing to read the temple is closed for visitors and God has only fruits those 14 days as it is believed he’s down with fever and hence quarantined!

Live and let live!
Earth belongs to all the species and we are NOT the masters! We can’t decide the existence of the other species saying survival of the fittest! Mother nature has waited patiently all along and has now taken a cane!

All the tourist spots are empty!
Imagine the places without humans, their noises, the pollution they bring along! All animals and birds are free to roam now in their homes! We all are caged inside ours!

An invisible virus has silenced all of us, all at the same time! Don’t open your mouths, isolate yourselves, keep yourselves low! Who gave us the rights to encroach everywhere, invent plastics, meddle with the genes under the name of science!

What is it to lose Sensex points, if we are not alive to enjoy the earnings?! Money alone is not life!
We can recreate all the riches, this time more sensibly! May be Mother Nature has given us all a second chance, let us be wise enough not to meddle with her and handover the precious world to our children for they deserve the best from the Earth, and much more, which we all took it for granted!

Earth is happy for there is cleaner air, cleaner water, better greenery, forms of life returning to the sea to balance the eco system, calmer environment!
None of us is indispensable as we kept believing! So, thinking as if we are moving our workplace can now be given a second thought! More time with the family, home made food, enjoying the silence, all these simple riches have become so rare that we needed a virus to make us realize!
The scientific truth for making noise or clapping on 22nd March, all at the same time, they say now is to disturb the virus from spreading and that is why even now, all the places of worship make some kind of noises at dawn and dusk.

Corona has taught us to
Compassionate towards all forms of life
Orderly living
Review your way of life
Omnipotent is watching us, all the time
Nature is for all and Namaste is the way of greeting!
Accept this and have an attitude of gratitude!

--Vishnupriya
