Covid19 lessons learnt during India lockdown

Its Covid19 lockdown time for human beings and lessons to be learnt as there is positivity in this negative situation.

Each day we are learning new lessons from lockdown.  Its as if we are being re-educated once again and being turned into better human beings - fit for the coming better times. 

400 billion people around the globe are caged in the sanctity of their homes.  The whole world has come to a complete standstill.  Man has taken a back seat.  All man created pollution/noises have stopped.   Sky is clear.  The Nature is happy and singing its best melody.  There is complete peace and silence all around us.  However, this stillness is speaking volumes. Are we listening?   


No human activity means that it is time for other lesser intelligent life forms to step out of their hiding, move around fearlessly, and bask in the glory of beautiful creation all around.  The nature is breathing, healing and is on a self correction course.  What a wonderful time.  For the first time after so long, human being is starting to notice other things, besides himself - the beauty of natural flora and fauna, the vastness of sky, the freshness in the air.  What had we done to our beautiful home – the Mother EARTH.  

Who would have thought that our modern advanced world will come to this stage. These are definitely unprecedented times.  It is modern scientifically advanced Age and so are our and new war weapons. This war is without weapons  causing huge devastation to human life. But the biggest REAL war this time is ‘war with inner enemies’.  We thought we knew everything but God is proving to us that we know NOTHING.  How selfish, and abusive human being had become in name of progress.   Many of us on Godly spiritual path were aware, praying and seeking God’s help for improvement but still Knowingly or unknowingly we all had become co-conspirators, culprits in this crime against self, against nature. Majority of People had become completely out bound and had stopped enjoying their own company.  Today human is scared to be alone which is so unnatural.

Mankind had gone totally out of control and this virus turned out to be the final trigger to stop any further damage.  Its time to check and correct the chaos.  The Supreme Power, the Divine God appears to have kept his promise to come and intervene in order to restore the balance of earth. And for this His most powerful creation, the Man, will have to take a backseat for the time being.  Work on Self and come back stronger and be better human beings.  LESSON IS TO BECOME SELF RELIANT EMOTIONALLY TOO

Its time for human to  go within and try to evaluate and assimilate whats happening and Why? .  It is time to introspect as to why powerful and mighty human being is caged inside his own home, hiding, shielding and fighting for his own survival from attack of an invisible tiny virus.  Isn’t this the ultimate lesson in humility?  Each and everyone of us has been brought to the same ground playing level.  Suddenly all are equal and goal is same. The moment we are disconnected from influence of outside world, we realise that our needs are just basic essantials.  We had been hoarding unnecessary stuff just to look better than others.    We are no longer part of rat race.  Comparison and Competition is zero.  Adrenaline rush is under control. Now our Desires are checked and Needs are limited.

WE are fully aware that our Self control, Self contentment, and Self care is key to survival and our growth.   

It appears that God has set the RESET button to regulate/ discipline his entire creation and put each and every of HIS creation out of misery.  Human being,  the most intelligent of his creation had brought the entire world to a state of chaos at all levels – be it International, national, environmental, natural, domestic and most of all himself.  For the first time human being actually started to understand that he cannot control anything.  THAT THERE IS A HIGHER SUPREME POWER that has always been incharge of everything.
