Love and cruelty are two sides of the same coin. It is the law of Nature – it takes as it gives.

It crafts a puppet out of the five elements – air, water, space, earth and fire — and in the end converting it back into five elements, Nature merges it in itself.

Nature loves matter and being equally, for her own purpose. Her purpose is constant growth and when it sees obstacles in its path, through its tandav, dance of destruction – earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, storms etc., taking the support of five elements, it destroys them. It is all directed by Natural law and everything is layabadh, rhythmic.

It is not necessary to return Nature’s love as much as it is to spread it further.

The moon can receive only as much light as it is destined, and it reflects and spreads it further daily. Even if it does not receive light, it is not worried. It rotates around the Earth, engrossed in itself, that is why it has survived.

But human wants love. If he does not get it; he keeps on scheming with his mind to get love. But does he ever think how much of all that he has received, he has distributed further. Forget giving it further, sometimes, he hurts the very person from whom he has received love.

If you cannot return love, never mind. The moon can never return the light given to it by the sun, but still in complete surrender along with the Earth, it keeps on doing parikrama, circumambulating it. It is a natural process to desire love but Mother Nature has her own vidhan or constitution, due to which human receives love or cruelty for his own progress and evolution. Teaching something to human even through its cruelty, Nature conducts the karm of constant progress. It gives love, satisfies human through it, performing its own karm of expansion of love. Both are the forces of the constitutional laws of Nature, to utilise human capacities to their maximum.

If human become fearful or resentful due to cruelty, then further growth stops. In the same way if he gets too engrossed and indulgent in love, then there are chances he will become inactive, clever and conniving and become totally useless and his growth will also be avruddh, get tampered with.

Nature’s cruelty i.e. cruel tests of time are bestowed upon those humans who have the capacity to become writers, authors, poets, visionaries and philosophers, so that they can become jagat gurus to show the way and guide the world by being example of how they channelise their pain towards creativity and Universal good.

Love is given to saints, Sufis, to become seva murti — idols of service, work for the welfare of humanity. Taking a lesson from cruelty, getting strength from it, the mahatmas or great souls propagate the light that teaches patience and learning from love, those with a softer heart spread the light of brotherhood.

The one who does not differentiate between this reet or tradition of love and cruelty of Nature and realising the tattva gyan, knowledge of its essence, understands its profound mystery, such a person becomes stith pragya, firmly established and with sambuddhi, equanimity, becomes an avtar who spreads the path of truth, love, light and karm. Being in satsang or the company of such good, truthful people, leads to kalyan or deliverance.
