Swami has reminded us to “Spend your time in the contemplation of the beauties of Nature that are spread out before you in Earth and sky green expanses of the crops you have raised, cool breezes that waft contentment and joy, the panorama of coloured clouds, the music of birds.  Nature is the purest hand work of God”. On Saturday August 19^th, 2018 devotees spent the early hours of the morning and afternoon in mindful walking. Devotees who took the time to engage themselves in this activity had the opportunity to enjoy nature, touch a stream of flowing water and simply walk bare foot on a sandy beach. Devotees also utilised the opportunity to spend some time in meditation to feel a direct contact with our Mother Earth, Our Beloved Sai and receive her blessings! It was with gratitude that devotees remembered Swami’s words, “Nature is very close to God, closer than man is. For in man there is a veil of ignorance clouding his vision and marring his sight. But, Nature is the purest handiwork of God. If you are able to love Nature and feel in tune with it, you are that much closer to God. It is very easy to know God through Nature, for in Nature there is goodness, simplicity, purity and selflessness” –Nature – a Mirror of the Divine, Mother Sathya.
