Pasture, green as wide as the ocean,
Where cattle graze en masse everywhere;
Tiger, hungry, watches to catch the weak,
Above a loan tree in the middle of the grass land;
Beyond, man watches with his binoculars
Beauty and the beast of Nature in rapture!
Both the humble and ferocious animals
Are beautiful in the forest;
But there is no protection for beauty in Nature.
They also don't seem to care for the beauty
But for their survival;
Truly the survival of the fittest
Is the justice in Nature!
Wilder ones thrive on the smaller ones
But the wildest on both!
The thrivers on others have fewer opportunities
But the preys have plenty!
This is the fate of the jungle creatures that live
In the wide open World of Nature!
The humble with beauty has plenty to feed on
But without protection;
But the ferocious without much to thrive on
Has the power to dominate the mass!
That is why Lion is the King of the forest
And others just subjects only!
Animals, that don't think, survives by instinct;
But man, the social animal, lives by intelligence.
Might is right in the jungle
But right is might in the town!
Jungle animals that are still in the state of
Evolution survive as predators;
But man, the most evolved being,
Wears many a mask
Much more difficult to understand
Than the predators we probe!
Man works as machine among machines
And lives like animal for money,
Which has no value and use
For the jungle animal
That lives in Nature!
So, man's discovery, invention,
Progress and civilisation
Look to be a miracle!
Perhaps Nature's plan was to evolve man
Mentally and spiritually to a Superman stage;
Accordingly conscience, intellect and intuition
Have evolved man into a human being;
But after thinking capacity has developed,
Due to diversions, man's mind is
Yet to develop to supremental stage,
Which is when man's spiritual activities will start
Evolving human being into a divine being!
Children play with toys
And big boys play ball games;
But hunting is the biggest game
For man and animals
Yesterday and today!
Ancient man was hunting for survival
But now for fun!
Man is hunting animals for skin and horns
To amass wealth
In order to enjoy all kinds of enjoyments
In the world for fun!
Due to sensuous pleasures
Man is carried away by illusion
And due to too much desire
Fails to see reality by intellectual intuition!
As a result man's mind functions like a monkey
That jumps from tree to tree!
So, only by keeping the mind under control
And purifying the heart
Man can see Ultimate Reality by intuition
And know the means to reach steadily the end;
For that, man should first become a superman
By super consciousness
So as to become a divine being one day
learning to live a divine life
in this world itself!
That is the purpose, for which, nature has stopped
evolving new creatures after man;
This, man has to realise and rectify the means
To reach the end successfully!
