To see the Guru’s dance in a flower, to see a shift in light and presence, to see the perfect reflection again and again—these images have implanted a beautiful and renewed perspective in my vision.

As I observe each beautiful image in this gallery, I feel a sense of calm, contentment, and harmony. To me, the exquisite detail depicted in each image—from the smallest particle to the vast sky—declares the presence of the majesty of God everywhere. This leaves me in awe, with a feeling of divine protection.

As I looked at the butterfly and repeated to myself, “I have no worries,” I felt my heart opening in the same way that the wings of this lovely creature were opening. I relaxed and returned to the experience of meditation I'd had earlier.

I had heard, read, and said the word
niscintata many times before, but today as I read about
niscintata as “the state of being in harmony with oneself and one’s surroundings,” new understanding arose. I have been worrying about a few issues for the last few days. Gurumayi’s teaching that it is within my ability to become free from worries is like a beacon of light for me.

As soon as I saw the first photo, my mind softened and relaxed into the heart space. As I continued to let myself fall into that space of deep silence while viewing the images, my whole being became silent, and the beauty of the heart shone in its majesty.

Looking at the black-and-white photos of nature, I find myself humming, nothing specific, just an acknowledgment “hummmm” to the simple yet complex beauty expressed in each image. The hum stills my mind, calms my nervous system, and—as the word nishchintata implies—keeps me “free from worry.”
