EARTH’S
EARTHING
Excerpt from the Book “KARMA LINGA” by Bharat P. Bedi
God has created this beautiful world
for benefit of all. Everything in this planet is of use to inhabitants of this
planet. There is a purpose behind every aspect of this creation. There is
abundance of beauty, wealth & natural resources which provided us
nutritious food as well as medicinal benefits. Nothing in this planet is a
waste. One thing compliments other. One’s bane is other’s boon. One’s survival
is other’s food.

Plant Kingdom or Foliage is the Earthing of Earth. Earthing or Grounding protects us from
the devastating effects of power surge of Nature. Nature also acts as a
Catalyst by inspiring/guiding us through its selfless actions of whole
heartedly giving the best to us/Inhabitants of this planet thus ensuring that we enjoy the journey of
Life fully & fruitfully.
We are God`s creation & every
creator always wants good for its creation. He has planned & provided for
everything which can be of help to us. He has given us everything in abundance.
It is for us to harness it in a productive way & utilise it as per needs.
All beings, other than Human being, have a very limited perspective of life.
Its life knowledge is limited to the area which he can survey. His development
& his quest are limited to what is within his view. Other thing which
compels him to explore is to feed his hunger & survival.
All other beings, except humans, live
like a frog in a well. As the frog can`t see beyond the well he feels that
there is no life beyond the well. Humans are different. Humans have an evolved
brain which has helped them to scale great heights. This aspect of knowledge
has helped it to bring many improvements & inventions which has helped to
improve life in general. We have been able to harness natural resources for
benefit of mankind. With the ability to better utilise resources we have
manipulated & misused our ability to feed our greed. This has resulted in
exploitation & erosion of gifts provided to us by God.
Like beings on land we have a whole
world which is living in water. They are known as aquatic animals. They have a
world of their own. Some of the aquatic animals have evolved themselves to
adopt themselves to live on land as well as water. Their body structure &
living ways are very different from beings living on land but they also depend
on all those elements provided by God. They also require air, water, light
& other resources to survive.
Aquatic beings & beings living on
land are capable of moving from place to place. They can move from one place to
another as per their convenience in search of food & security. There is one
living species on Earth which has limited mobility but is the balancing factor
for proper functioning of this world.

Plant kingdom, Animal kingdom &
Aquatic kingdom are the three operating kingdoms on Earth. Of the three, Plant
kingdom is the fulcrum around which efficient working of all functions of the
Earth depend. They are the silent warriors which guard us from all the
impending calamities.
With creatures, God has also created
foliage. Various varieties of plants, trees, creepers & other things are
great provider of lifegiving resources. They are the support system for ecology
& other creatures. Natural resources provided by God are life giver & life
supporter for all beings.
Whether an insect, reptile, bird,
animal, fish, plant, tree, creeper or any being who is surviving on earth is
dependent on the resources provided by God. God has not discriminated against
any creature. Whatever he has provided is for the benefit of all. Every
creature of God has equal right over resources provided by God. Greed of Humans
have created imbalance in the world.
Trees give maximum to inhabitants of
this world. Trees are the provider for all. Plant kingdom provides us with
food, medicines, purity of air, buffer against natural calamities & are a
catalyst against many maladies. All this we receive from a miniscule seed. A single seed
provides us with innumerable fruits, flowers, oxygen, wood & many more
things which sustain us.
We cut, uproot & chop trees for
various purposes. All the atrocities we perpetuate on the foliage is because we
know that trees will not retaliate. We know that they can`t move on their own
& they heal themselves. Silently
they bear all our atrocities & go on providing us all that we require.
These attributes we associate with persons of higher values we revere in
Saints, Gurus, Prophets & God.
Plant kingdom is the balancing factor
for proper functioning of the Universe. I strongly feel that evolved persons
whose Soul were unable to transcend from Earth to its Heavenly abode are rooted
to Earth as part of the Plant kingdom waiting for their turn to be free from
this Karma bhoomi. Its mobility depends on humans, wind, water, Earth &
other animal. Plant kingdom is not
capable of movement on its own but they are capable to affect the quality of
our life.
Plant kingdom is the stabilising factor
of Earth. It is Earth`s Earthing. Foliage controls flow of water from entering
from one dispensation to another. It helps keep Saline sea water from sweet
river water & marshy shrubs act as barriers protecting land from water. It
controls weather & purifies air to give us clean atmosphere to
breath.
It provides fruits, flowers, herbs
& much more for benefit of humans, animals, birds, bees, reptiles, insects
& to all other creatures of this planet. Proper balance of our Ecological
system depends on systematic functioning of Plant kingdom.
God has created all this for the
benefit of its inhabitants. Except humans, all other inhabitants live within
their prescribed limits i.e. Dharma. They live within their parameters &
follow their dharma. Human`s dharma is to be Humane. Humans are
the only creature that don`t follow their dharma. Instead of properly
using we Humans misuse the resources. Humans have evolved brain which
helps them to think beyond their immediate focus. This evolved brain is for
betterment of self & society in general. Instead of using it for benefit of
society we started using it for benefitting self. This greed leads to imbalance
in resources & God creation.
