Water is one of the most critical elements vital for all living organisms. We cannot even imagine life without it. Our body is around 60% water. 70% of the Earth has water that. We use it for domestic purposes like cleaning, cooking, etc., to quench the thirst and to grow plants. Indeed, it is crucial to conserve because the water that cleans everything is being polluted more and more every day. Freshwater is already so less and above that most of that is in ice form. So, we are left with significantly less of the total water on the Earth to use. However, we are so cruel to nature that we don’t spare that. If not to save the Earth, then at least to preserve the life, we should keep the water clean.
Spiritually speaking, water has significance beyond its physical one. For instance, in India, rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, etc., are holy rivers to that devotees’ sentiments are attached. Apart from that, water’s physical and chemical properties have so many life teachings to tell us. Water is colorless and odorless, yet no other colorful and tasty substances could replace it. It shows it is the quality that makes you essential or futile.
Not to mention, it is water that brings greenery to nature along with other crucial components like air and soil. People might consider you dull, but if you are the only one who quenches their thirst, it doesn’t matter. Water is neutral in taste but could taste depending on what you dissolve in it. If you dissolve sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you dissolve bitter, it will taste so. So, be like water that is be sweet with pleasant and more painful with a narcissist.
Despite knowing the importance of the water for life, people seldom take care of not polluting and wasting water because they think they have plenty of it. It tells you not to be so much available for people when they don’t care about your presence and exploit you. Only then would they realize your importance and learn to give you the respect you deserve.
Water is called the universal solvent because it dissolves most of the substances, though not all. It teaches us that we should accept the diversity in the world with open arms as they all belong to us. Yes, some parts should be left because some things are better if not mixed because they can become poison for you and the people around you. Water is flexible and takes any shape and color without losing its identity. Similarly, it would be best to adapt yourself according to the circumstances in life without losing your essence.
Another incredible water quality is that it makes its way anyway, whether by flooding, cutting through the rocks, or percolating the soil. Same way, we must never give up because we would know how to cross the hurdles of negativity and discouragement and make our way out anyway without surrendering.
The power of water to flood everything teaches us what happens if the pressure increases or there is some disturbance inside the foundation where you stand. Drought teaches us what our life becomes like when someone very crucial is not available in our life, and hence it is of utmost priority to conserve your loved ones like we need to do water.
Stagnant water spoils smell terrible and becomes the reason for mosquito breeding and diseases. Similarly, if you don’t want to get spoil and become the reason for chaos for yourself and the people around you have to keep flowing to maintain the freshness in you.
As it is said, “shallow water makes much noise.” Likewise, the more wisdom you have, the calmer would you be. The calmer you would be, the more clarity inside you as there is clarity in the clear water. You have to keep flowing deeper and calmer to live a balanced and fruitful life. The water has limitless qualities to learn from, including some important ones I have mentioned. Without further ado, I want to share some water quotes to keep flowing and make your way anyway.
