This is an image of forest. I love forest like many others of this world where the forestland is gradually decreasing. Civilisation has many extremely bad side effects and one of them is industrialisation. Modern and civilised man is more happy to live in a city than to live in a forest.
Man is a creating (and also creative) animal-but at the same time selfishly destroying. A Rembrandt or an Einstein has not contributed to the cause of the Earth or Nature. He is sustained by nature and for his comforts he uses her all conceivable potentialities. But man has not on his own given anything to this earth-at least that much an insect needs to live on.
But there is a personal truth behind this image. A fairy very much afraid of her diminutive forest habitat requested me to create one for her. So I dedicate this creation to that fairy.
In this investiture of fleshly life A soul that is a spark of God survives . And sometimes it breaks through the sordid screen And kindles a fire that makes us half-divine. Savitri, Book 11, Canto V
