SLC31-W4 | THE GREEN JOURNEY | Earthing and the Elements

Assalamu Alaikum, I hope everyone is well and enjoying their lives. Today is the fourth week of this season. This week, to calm myself down, refresh my mind, and cool my eyes, I visited the countryside, just a short distance from our house.

My main purpose in visiting the countryside was to engage in physical interaction with various things there, including animals, flowers, water, tube wells, and other green things. So when we visit such a place in the morning, the mind becomes very fresh. That is why a morning walk is also important, and seeing greenery is also a great way to refresh our minds, so I visited it.

_{Countryside Place}

During this visit, my first interaction was with the oleander plant. This is an evergreen plant, and on top of it, we see pink flowers, and these flowers make the surrounding environment fresh with their fragrance. When I went to them, their fragrance made me feel a strange coolness in my mind, which seemed to make all the worries go away. And the location of this oleander plant was so perfect that at the same time we could see the tube well. Its reflection was also visible in the clear water of this tube well. Seeing this reflection and smelling this fragrance, I found myself very calm.

_{Flowers At Tubewell Corner}

The tube well next to the same plant is a tube well with clean, transparent water. People bathe and drink the water here because it is clean and does not contain any kind of dirt. Whenever needed, an electric motor is installed behind it. It is turned on, and through it, all the plants around are watered. I used the water from it in the morning, which was quite cold due to the dew that fell at night. When I touched it, I felt a sense of peace and coolness, and I enjoyed this system of nature very much.

_{Tubewell For Water Distribution}

I am also presenting the video of my interaction with the water from the tube well below. Through this video, you can also get a taste of it. Imagine that you are touching this cold water yourself, and in the morning, you have many thoughts in your mind. Forgetting these thoughts, touch this water and smell the fragrance of the flowers present nearby, which will make you very happy.

The main purpose of visiting the countryside is that you can interact with various things of nature during this time, which includes birds, animals, naturally grown fruits, and beautiful things like flowers. So here too, when I looked a little further, here the duck, which was sitting in its walking mode, was feeling the cool morning breeze and was providing itself with coolness on the bank of the water. It was scratching itself on its body, which means that it is very happy and healthy.

_{Duck Bird}

Seeing these ducks also refreshed my mind, just as they are absorbed in their life, forgetting all their worries. I also spent some time sitting with them and watching them, which made all my worries disappear. Like them, my mind also got into a relaxed mood.

A video of how these ducks were cleaning themselves, expressing their happiness, and enjoying the morning is presented below. You can see their view in this video.

In the same area, I also saw a dog, a German Shepherd, expressing his happiness here. Everything is happy in the morning, so he also gave me a warm welcome, and I played with him for a while.

A dog is a loyal animal. If you take care of it on a daily basis, it will become very friendly towards you and will always be with you, protecting you. Similarly, a few days ago I visited here, and during that time I also interacted with it. It recognized me immediately and played well with me.

_{Dog Animal}

Just as the water in the tube well had cooled down due to the dew falling on it at night, similarly, a pond was built here. This pond was for the ducks that swim in it or for the animals that are around, and they are bathed here in the morning and evening. So standing on the bank of this pond, I felt cool because the water was also quite cold. The weather was very pleasant at night. There was dew on the water. Due to the cooling of the water, the coolness of which was spreading around, the morning air felt very peaceful and cool.

_{Water Pond For Birds And Animals}

On the bank of the same pond, there was a large mulberry plant, on top of which were also ripe mulberries, which were very sweet. I enjoyed this mulberry in the morning, which provided a strange kind of cooling because mulberries have many benefits. It is a famous summer fruit, and when we eat it in summer, it eliminates our internal heat, so I also enjoyed this mulberry in the morning.

_{Ripe Mulbarries}

While visiting this countryside, I was most happy when I interacted with the fruits that were making their presence felt here. First, I came across a tomato plant that had a red tomato on top, and it was in its prime condition.

It is very heartwarming to see these things in nature. When the fruit is sometimes in a raw state and sometimes in a ripe state, we see different conditions on the same plant. Here, on this plant, a tomato had reached its fully ripe state, and this one was in an intermediate state. In a few days, that too would be ripe, and it would also be picked.

_{Fresh Tomato}

The true display of the system of nature is on the banana plant, where we see bananas growing in clusters. The plant is small, but it has large leaves. Among these large leaves, a large cluster of bananas grows, which is the owner of its own beauty. Seeing the cluster, the heart becomes refreshed, and the mind becomes a garden.

_{Unripe Bananas}

Just as a banana plant expresses beauty, there were some guava plants here. Small guavas had grown on these guava plants, which were still in a raw state, but they were also planted in clusters. The green guavas among the green leaves and the white flowers on top of them looked very beautiful, which shows a higher order of nature, how Allah Almighty created green things among the green leaves and showed their beauty.

Even touching these guavas reveals their hardness because they are still raw and hard, but as they ripen, they will gradually become softer, and we will definitely enjoy this soft fruit.

My Self With Guavas Plant

_{Growing Guavas}

If I analyze this honestly, I feel like we have come out of a busy life and into a place of calm gratitude where I interacted with all these things, touched them, felt them, which allowed me to feel a strange sensation inside my body, and at the same time, I felt them. Going here to this place, I took a cool breath, in which I forgot all the worries of the world, and took a peaceful breath.

Everything about this place was very peaceful and enjoyable, but what I found most comforting was when I felt the cool water of the tube well, and its coolness made me feel a strange kind of appreciation in my body, which created a sense of peace throughout my body. After that, the most comforting thing was these ducks, who, without telling us anything, have taught us a lesson about how you can forget all your worries and enjoy yourself carelessly.

Interacting with all these things made my body feel refreshed, and my mind felt calm.
