Nature Stories

By Balachandher Krishnan Guru

This little book contains a compilation of short stories told by a silent master. The stories illustrate how much wisdom can be gained by merely observing Mother Nature. The first chapter contains the essence of the entire book that everything in this wonderful world is connected and hence destroying any part of it will ultimately result in hurting ourselves.

Mother Nature provides for all without any discrimination based on cast, creed, or color. In addition, she gives and gives without ever expecting anything in return. She never stops giving, even when we hurt her in our ignorance.

Man, in his selfish quest for wealth and power, is ready to wage war against his fellow brothers all for the sake of material gains, which we cannot take with us at our time of death. Thus, it is hoped that reading these little stories will erase all forms of discrimination, anger, and hatred from your hearts, leaving behind merely feelings of love, peace, and joy.

The author currently serves as an associate professor of Finance at Monash University, Malaysia. He has been a teacher for most of his life, but in truth, he has never ceased to be a student in the school of life.

PREFACE

This little book contains a selection of short stories told by a silent master. These short stories are intended to illustrate how everything in this wonderful world is connected. Every creation of Mother Nature is a wondrous beauty to behold.

The first chapter contains the essence of the entire book. If we are all connected to the same tree of life then together we are a living being and in isolation we are only merely decaying fragments.

If everything here is a component of the entire universe then destroying any of the components will leave the universe incapacitated. Thus, it is hoped that reading these little stories will erase all forms of discrimination and hatred from your hearts leaving behind a harmonious congregation of life in a wonderfully beautiful world

Let us cast out of our hearts feelings of anger, hatred and war and
