The Garden of Life. Adam and Eve were gifted a life in the garden of paradise,sweet blissful living amid undescribable beauty.Eden imagine what the place must have been like , no one can do so, it is beyond comprehension , much beyond the boundaries of possible human imaginations.

Where are we today?Is this life as rewarding ? What are the life values and in which direction are we progressing? Many of us may say we are satisfied ,we are happy ,we have achieved and we are progressing. Stop ,think. Is this what we are on this world for ,where is our garden,our Eden.What is our contribution to the garden of life? Yes each one of us are gifted a garden and it is our responsibility to make it as beautiful as possible as we travel through it.

Unfortunately weeds have grown, brambles intertwined ,untamed parries,uncultured shrubs and trees have been permitted to flourish unabated . It is these infested forests that have made mankind lose their sense of lifes direction. WE exist in concrete jungles with self imposed limitations and boundaries,struggling to achieve ..what?

Life is beautiful. The garden of life is even more beautiful,full of fragrance ,colour and sound.IT is paradise magnified. as we travel along the richer we become with experience the more we gain and the more we enjoy lifes journey. Some of us travel five years,some ten and some fifty,the more we travel the more we experience and marvel.. we stop and say isnt life beautiful Aha life is wonderful.

GOD has entrusted us with his best creation the garden of life ,we have to nuture and look after it.Like all good gardeners we have to deweed,uproot the brambles, tame the parries,and culture the shrubs and trees. WE have to fertilise the garden with love ,compassion,and appreciation.We have to cultivate flowers like peace ,harmony and brotherhoodness.It is this fragrance that should spread throughout the garden.

What are we doing? We are using fertilisers like hate,distrust,jealousy,envy,anger,enmity and so many other.We are cultivating foul odour flowers like terrorism,wars,agression,exploitation,oppression, intolerance.Flowers that nobody appreciates ,these have no place in our garden of life.

People have no time to be good gardeners of their own lifes garden.Is this really what they want or it this what they have forgotten?

We have great problems like global warming,space pollution ,UV radiation related diseases,and whatnots.We have no time left to contemplate.We have to act now and the way to do it is to rebuild our garden of life.Each one fulfilling Gods trust.Let us not forget the future generations atleast let us leave them a garden to enjoy.the garden of life.
