‘Impulses from nature has inspired many a poets
Nature has provided clues to the scientists alike’
Nature is the embodiment of all objective knowledge. The book ‘The heart and the brain’ highlights the role of Nature in helping us understand the basics of art, science and logic. It expresses a belief that art has the ability to bring happiness and satisfaction with one’s own work while science has the ability to inculcate in us an attitude to search for the truth. Logic helps us to reach at the most appropriate judgement and decision at any moment of time.
This book brings into light, harmony and balance in all aspects of Nature and Life. It attempts to build a new philosophy of life- the enlightened naturalism.
Life (The natural cycle)
Life moves on swiftly as a breeze
Often, we are left with only a feel,
Of the days passed in peace,
Touching gently, can’t ever be seized.
Remains progressive to the core
Myriads of experiences which help us grow
Every moment a new mystery unfolds
Which touches the deepest of our souls.
These moments contain events
Which cherish our daily life
In these moments resides
An assurance of eternity
These moments provide
All the experiences and vitality.
As an infant we are born
Oblivious to the world around
In the parents care we learn
To take slow steps and then to run.
The purity within shines through the eyes
The playful ways make the life bright.
We enter our childhood which passes so fast
We realize only when the golden time has elapsed
Only memories remain of the sweet past.
We sit down and often ponder
About the fun filled days and the playful moods
The innocence of the childhood never strays
From the source of life
From where we inherit those traits.
Time then has its own ways
It neither stops nor waits
Years pass and we grow in age
Passing through life’s every stage.
Yet deep within the truthful core
Where the soul resides and gradually soars
The childhood and the innocence continues to dwell
Inspiring us to learn life’s every lesson well.
We seldom notice when the childhood is replaced
With the zest of youth
Youth is like the breath of spring
Brings in the freshness
Which makes the heart sing.
Like the flower which has newly bloomed
Youth instills new vitality and many new tunes.
Life then seems like a newly wedded bride
Striving for beauty and perfection with every stride.
Gradually we evolve and grow
We take every responsibility as we mature
We see our children grow in front of our eyes
In our soul, we realize the completeness of our life.
The experiences of life get added on
We continue to mature as we move on
The zest of youth, is then directed
To seek rationality and truth.
Then comes the age of retrospection
We spend a lot of time in introspection and careful reflection
We wonder about life’s mysterious ways
Ponder over the presence of some special grace.
We thus walk through the journey called life Gradually learning and becoming wise.
