Have you ever seen a silent place where nothing exists, not even a dust particle? The Earth might look like it did when it was created. It might be a quiet planet.
Then God created the soil, the dust, and the rocks from the dust. God has created plants from the soil. God has even created different soils, plants, trees, flowers, etc.
Can we imagine the happiness of God when the first plant was born?
God loves diversity. He might have thought about the beauty of the planet. Wow, my planet is full of diversity. Then he has created animals from nature. Finally, he created humans.
He has bestowed kingdomship on humans by giving them intellect. God might have thought that humans are my vicegerent on the planet. They will take care of my nature, environment, and animals.
Humans have a powerful thing, and that is intellect. If humans have no intellect, then they are nothing but animals.
How blessed humans are. God has a plan to make a heavenly planet. Humans can make progress materially, so God has given the entire planet to humans. Humans can make spiritual progress through the practices bestowed. These practices aim to recognise oneself and who has created the human, the god.
These practices differ from place to place and language to language. Eventually, humans gave these practices the name of religion.
Everything was okay, but humans have developed desires, which have compelled them to forget the environment, nature, and God.
Otherwise, God created them a king to take care of nature. Have you ever seen different flowers fight with each other? Then how can different religious people fight?
Didn’t they read the holy Bhagwat Gita Maha Upanishad (Chapter 6, Verse 71–72)? God mentions, “The universe is a family.”
Similarly, if we check the holy Book Quran: Surah An-Nisa, Ayah 1, God said God had created humans from a single soul.
How can we fight? We are brothers and sisters.
Anyway, let’s get back to the original topic.
God loves diversity; hence, he has created diverse soil, trees, animals, flowers, and cultures.
It was humans’ duty to protect nature. When we see the sacrifice of an animal in religion, it doesn’t mean an actual animal. Humans are created from animals, so humans have animal desires. God asks to sacrifice it.
The Holy Quran (55:7–8) asks humans not to disturb the natural balance. And Holy Geeta (6:17) asks us to live with balance, a mindful life and take care of nature.
A good king takes care of his people, and humans are the king. But desire has turned humans into evil kings. Humans have cut down the jungle for the sake of money or self-interest. We are living in the era of global warming. Can we blame God? Oh no dear, we can’t.
God is merciful. He has created everything we need, but our desire has created the imbalance of the environment. We run to god when we face floods, cyclones, or sickness spreads. We ask for mercy, or we blame god. But god might be angry or smiling at the foolishness of the people because disturbing the environment is nothing but suicide.
God does not change people’s conditions, but people themselves do (Quran 13:11). Humans are the enemy of themselves (Holy Gita 6:5).
Humans are kings, and humans have a beautiful thing: intellect. Although damage is done, we still have time. We can still recover and create a beautiful planet God has wished for. Let’s spread peace and the echo of humanity and kindness. Otherwise, our planet will be silent forever.
Humans should take care of each other. God will bless humans if we start loving and taking care of each other. No one is a stranger on this planet. We are all brothers and sisters. We are all one true family.
Let’s cheer and break the silence so our planet won’t be a silent planet.
Let’s learn from each other, hug, smile, eat together, and finally, walk to the court of God and pray together with a great diversity and embracing plurality.
Thank you.
