The BlogTalk: 6th Question: This pandemic - A call from Nature? Or just a co-incidence?

The Master’s Guidance Continues

Acharya Mahendranath
(The Master)

As the coronavirus pandemic rages on, the entire country is in a lockdown. All students have been missing the joy of coming to the training centres, practicing in a group, interacting with the teachers, and of course meeting the Master. Everyone has also missed having our monthly “Master’s Talk Session”. But Master says that physical lockdown need not mean lockdown of our lives. We can still do the same things, but do them differently. Which is why the Master has given a schedule for daily practice of Martial Arts, Yoga and Reiki Energy Healing, and all students have responded really well. 

Our activities over Instagram and Facebook have kept us connected with each other’s energy. So why stop here? Why not have Master’s Talk Session as well, but in a different manner? So we asked students to send us questions and the Master has given His guidance through this blog. So we hope that you all read it, understand it, internalize it, apply it and make your life even better. Please share your comments at the end of each question and of course, more questions are welcome on moxshlife@gmail.com.

Q. It is being said, “Nature has its own ways of fulfilling its debts." Whenever humanity crosses its boundaries, nature shows its power and divinity to mark its presence. We have heard that people of Delhi are suffering from thermal inversion and air pollution since last decade. Same kind of problems are experienced by other cities of world also.

Now from last couple of weeks of Lockdown period, we have learned and experienced lots of positive changes in nature. Nature is healing herself; we have experienced reduction in NO₂ levels; there is clean and clear sky and better air to breathe even in cities. This is happening not only in India but whole world is experiencing in same way.

Master, my question is: Is it a call from Nature to humanity or just a co-incidence that such kind of deadly Epidemic occurs every 100 years?

Master’s Guidance: "Whenever anything happens, it is always for good (by ‘good’, I mean good opportunity to develop ourselves or make ourselves mature). Even in this huge calamity, in which many people have lost something or someone close to them, we can find ways to develop ourselves and grow. But for that we need deep understanding and patience. Only then can we learn from it and do something in the future from which we—especially the next generation—can benefit. But if we look at it as a loss, then it is a loss or a dead end.
Even the worst calamity shows us something. You asked if it is a call from nature to humanity or if it is a coincidence. I say it does not matter what it is. It is important that we learn from this experience.
You mentioned about reduction in NO₂ levels, better skies, and cleaner air and water since the lockdown. You are right. But it is not just these; there are several hundred such things that are being seen across the world. 
Birds that were never seen in a country at this time of the year are visiting that country. Animals, birds, fish are moving about freely and even dancing. Mountain ranges are visible from over 200 kms away. Only human lives have come to a grinding halt. But otherwise, life is blossoming and thriving like never before. As soon as we stopped, they started living life to the fullest, and we are all witnessing this. I think that we are very fortunate that we are being shown all this.
But what do you think? Once this calamity dies down, will we change or rectify ourselves?
We all know the answer: chances are that we will get so busy and be in such a hurry to get back to our routine that we won’t stop for a moment to even think why this situation came upon us. This whole incident will soon be forgotten. It will probably become the subject of some movie, documentary, or joke or stand-up comedy, someone might write a novel or poetry, or it might take up a chapter in our history books.
And I say that for any change or rectification to take place, the first step is to think, contemplate and acknowledge the error of our ways.
We all felt that we are super advanced in every field. And why not? We have great infrastructure, technology, super convenient lifestyles, we have brought the world closer, and basically, we get to do as we please. We have gone to the Moon, Mars and beyond in search of ‘habitable space’.
At the same time governments of nations across the world have invested heavily in all kinds of weapons of mass destruction. Even less developed countries have invested large amounts in them. Every country was ready to show that it is a ‘superpower’. Everyone was prepared for war. But even the most powerful countries were not prepared for a pandemic such as this.
We need to think and understand —not just now when we are all at home, but even after this pandemic is over—that right from the healthcare system to our own immune system, everything is weak. Our priorities and our thought process have led us in a wrong direction. We have forgotten a great saying from our ancient Indian culture that ‘health is wealth’. Health not just of humans; but of every being that shares the planet with us. That includes the other animals, trees, mountains, the soil, air, water, and even space!
There is a very nice saying that those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. When this calamity ends, we will need to choose: Should we go back to things the way they were? Or should we be thankful that we have gotten this golden opportunity to better ourselves, work to heal the damage inflicted on this planet, and give every entity that shares this planet with us a chance to live with the dignity and freedom that Mother Nature had given them?"
