Differentiation
The universe, the nature, humans, rather every minute thing in this universe, whether alive or not, is made up of either of the element of Panchadhatu or is a beautiful union of all 5 of them (as we humans)
So elementally the whole universe and everything in it is ONE, exactly how we talk of that one force, one god, one consciousness or EKAM!
So everything is one, but still differentiated.
So what is it that differentiates all this!! What makes us feel we are different?
It is THE MIND!!
It is the very nature of the mind to differentiate, it is the very nature of the mind to seek identity!!
Exactly why even while being in same one supreme consciousness, we all are still different! Because each mind differentiates to recognise itself from others!
Differentiation is often seen in a negative sense, but if we minutely observe it, it is exactly what has helped us create our basic identity!! Creating our own small world in this big one! Creating a sense of who are my people (family) and society!!
It is a beautiful circle of creating our identity through the differentiation of mind, till understanding that nothing is separate or different and returning back to the highest consciousness!!
Nature is a beautiful inspiration to observe and learn from!! Nature doesn’t understand differentiation, nature only knows giving, it knows grace and it knows love!!
It is interesting to observe that how we will strive to any lengths to do anything who our mind recognises as OURS!! (Example our own family)
But to extend the same love outside we need to consciously recognise the SEVA bhaav within us!!
It is only when we come out of this MIND, will we be able to recognise the oneness in everything!! That this body and mind is mere a illusonary barrier!! And that there is nothing as “outside” or “inside” world. We are the very Nature we observe, it is within us!! It is only when this realisation dawns upon us, that SEVA bhaav will start flowing through us automatically!!
In the end, it is all about circulation, the flow, the ONENESS!!
