Why does the wind blow? Why does man live?

Everything that is there in existence, whether prakritik or man-made, is nothing but an oblation to the Lord.

A devoted saint sees that the entire expanse of Prakriti, is nothing but an offering to the Lord. Why does he see the flowers on the plants, as an offering to the Lord? Because he sees his own hands, eyes, the entire physical system, as an offering to the Lord. As you are, so you see.

And it is not also just a matter of saint’s perception. It is actually so.

Prakriti is trying everything.

It is trying creation, it is trying dissolution. It is trying flowers, it is trying animals, it is trying insects, it is trying mammals. It’s trying intellect, it’s trying emotions. It’s also trying, survival of the fittest.

What is Prakriti upto? It surely wants something. Why is there so much movement in Prakriti? It is as if Prakriti too wants to meet the husband, Lord. That’s what the Gurus are clearly seeing.

The Flower does not bloom for nothing, the Sun does not rise for nothing, Man does not live for nothing. A new Child is not born for nothing. There is a purpose. The entire Prakritik movement has a purpose. And the purpose is to meet the Lord, to be devoted to the service of Lord.
