Littleness saves


Ants

Ants, I think, belong to the species of the most disciplined living beings in the universe. They move in a queue always, hunting for food and sharing them. Industriousness, uncaring Karma Yoga like living Tireless progress, many qualities they have. They march on in an order, surviving for thousands of years maintaining a rigid social order. There might be struggles and wars among them. Wars fought. Wars won and defeated, but not totally individualised.The delinquent ants too rush on to join the order after a brief secession. I have noted it from my childhood. They keep up the same order even now. I presume that they are tuned up to some kind of Order in nature. I was told, it was imbued in their little brains, carried on from long ago, from the beginning of the birth of ants. An order is a mystery. One cannot reveal the force lying behind it or ruin it with any of the most powerful device. The ants might react like they have obeyed. It is momentary. Annihilating the race of ants from the Universe? Impossible. They will forever. Littleness saves
