Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet.
-Paul Klee
Colours play an indispensable role in determining man’s position in Universe. All living beings operate in a colourful framework, a framework diligently created by the supreme power. He created the sun, the moon, the earth, mountains, sky, letting each creation exhibits its unique colour. Among all his creations, the Almighty attributed mankind the central place.
He stroked the colour of compassion in Mother Teresa’s figure and guided the world to make use of kindness as a magical colour to paint a benevolent picture of humanity. Similarly, the divine power sprayed the canvass of life with different hues: Truth and Ahimsa; Patriotism and Sacrifice; Determination and Philanthropy in the figures of Gandhi, Nehru, and Bhagat Singh, to name a few. He then sprinkled shades of Love, Honesty, Respect, Gratitude, and Goodness to improve upon his created expressions.
To lend more colours to his marvelous design, he embellished Nature with myriad of colours. Almost every colour finds a beautiful expression in the face of Nature. VIBGYOR-a jewel in firmament- displays seven majestic colours: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.
He intended man to emulate his style and diligence while existing in the Universe.
Alas! Nature’s splendid canvas got brutally assaulted and spoiled by man’s Black deeds. Activities like deforestation, irregular plantations, soil erosion completely robbed Nature of its natural colours which once adorned Nature’s throne. Human being, the crown of all creation, got busy rupturing the established colourful framework, instead of adhering to God’s example.
The dreadful scenes of murder, rape, extortion, kidnapping, female trafficking, child abuse, dowry deaths etc. make shades of black and grey more prominent in man’s dismal portrait of his social surroundings. The political scene is no better. The shades of violence and communalism have replaced the shades of truth and secularism.
The portrait of mankind differs drastically from the one created by the God. It reflects not a myriad of colours but what it does reflect is a mirage.
