MOTHER NATURE- ANNAPURNA
“I have been thinking…you know all the ganas and the denizens at home, and even the ones in the nearby forests are well provided for, when it comes to food, because we personally see to it…”
She filled up His bowl with a second helping of fresh and unskimmed milk. “But my mind wonders ever so often about the creatures in the valley and jungles and at the lower reaches, you know, basically the ones who are far from our sight. What about them? Do they get their meals always? Are the meals on time? I hope some of them, actually none of them, ever go hungry…”
“Ah, you are Annapurna, my dear! It’s natural that you feel concerned. But they all get fed. Providence provides for all it births. That’s my understanding of the eco system and the natural equilibrium.”
“What about the beasts that grow old and can’t hunt, for example?” She asked. “What about the creatures that survive on vegetation which virtually vanishes in winter?”
“They…migrate,” He said. “It’s simple, and it’s all worked out. Some hibernate, and some migrate! Your own laws are perfect, Annapurna!”
“How can you be so sure always? You sound as if you actually supervise all this personally.”
“Now that you mention it, I do." smiled Shiva.
so Sati decided to test her Lord...and an enchanting tale followed!
