In the past few days I have come to realize some things about nature that I never noticed before. We know that the natives of North America and other parts of the world have a very tight relationship with nature. They depend on nature for the three basic necessities: food, clothing, and shelter. I have just come to realize how dis-associated we really are from nature and how it works.
First this past weekend I was going for a walk and I saw a medium sized tree planted in the sidewalk through a little hole in the concrete. The tree was growing bigger and the small hole and the concrete had many cracks in it and the pavement was all uneven. This was the first time that I put into perspective how powerful nature really is. I never realized this before. Even though I saw the same thing about a 100 times. That really made me wonder if nature could be ever contained. Water could erode away huge rocks by chipping at it drop after drop.
Another thing that I found interesting was something similar to this. There was a kind of a moss that was growing between someone's driveway and the sidewalk. And that growth of moss had made the sidewalk all deformed and out of place. That was amazing how a little plant could dislodge a concrete structure that man(women) had made thinking that it would withstand the test of time.
It also made me realize that this body of ours is many times less secure than that concrete sidewalk. That it takes less than the wink of an eye when the human body is no more. It was through these lines that came to realize that the hukam is all powerful and dictates everything. And waheguru above all is the single thing that make the universe "tick."
Powerful still are the forces of weather. Volcano's, earth quakes, typhoons, tsunami's, storms, lightening, floods, droughts, hurricanes.... When anyone tries to mess with any of these the results can be devastating. Man/woman has not created any kind of a technology that would stop or start any of these events. No one can claim to cause rain, or stop it when it is raining. It just doesn't happen. Why? Because its the will of nature/Waheguru. But I never thought about this before. I think its cool that I realized this.
In class today I recalled something from Feb. 1996. That month there was a science fair at Khalsa School Surrey. When the awards day for it came Dr. Hardyal Singh gave a lecture that I still remember. He talked about how the mind is all powerful. And powerful still is the brain. And powerful still is Waheguru that has made all that. So anyway I was in my computer science class. And the teacher was talking to us about the Japanese program to make humanlike AI(artificial intelligence) from computers. He told us about how it miserably failed. Right then I remembered that speech by Dr. Sahib.
In PSYC 1100 I am learning about the brain. I have already learnt of the amazing memory capabilities that the human brain has. There is more that will be revealed to me in the near future. I never thought that college would be such fun. I am actually enjoying studying now.
