being by uttering a magic word; He could have caused

it to issue from the ground, as He has done with water.

But for the preparation of honey He has ordained this

other, highly evolved and perfect system. This is so that

man may take heed and realize the manner in which

God has created the universe, thus learning the laws

and methods he must follow if he is to be successful in

this world.

If we are to sum up the method employed by bees in

the preparation of honey, we might say that it is a method

involving perfect planning. This same method is to be

followed by man. For man to achieve any worthwhile

aim in life, he has to work towards it in a planned,

methodical way. This is the only way to be successful

in one’s aims. What applies to the bees applies also to

mankind.

The Example of Nature

An expert on hunting writes: “The big cats often turn

into man-eaters when they are too old to hunt and

trap wild animals. But nine times out of ten, they do so

because a poacher has wounded them.” (The Times of

India, May 12, 1984)

The big cat by nature is not a man-eater. But it is the

greatest enemy-eater among all animals. The big cat does

not spare anyone it considers to be its enemy. In general

when a big cat sees any human it veers away from him.
