Chapter 5 (Page 36)

Honey bees make honey which human beings use. They make honey from nectar which they suck from
flowers. They hold nectar in their jaw which has a suction tube. They hold nectar in that tube till they
deposit it in the hive. They protect the beehive because the honey is stored there. They also protect the Queen

Bee until they are alive. People who disturb beehives become their biggest enemies. They sting those who hit
the beehive. They release liquid called pheromones while stinging which stir up all the nearby bees. Then
all the bees together attack those who are the enemies of the beehive. The persons who are attacked by bees

should shut themselves in a closed place.

Human beings should learn from dolphins who are suave, modest, friendly and loving, in spite of being
part of the family of ferocious and dangerous sharks. Dolphins are natural acrobats and a unique
aquatic animals that are by nature playful, joyful and peace-loving. But, at the same time, they are

stout, strong and powerful that can be increasingly aggressive, hostile and turbulent towards terrible
sharks, if required. Friendly towards humans, they have left several true stories of being the wonderful
saviours of individuals who suddenly got trapped in the sea. Sharks are bigger and stronger than the
dolphins, but often the dolphins prove to be more powerful probably because they are more intelligent and

smarter. Whales are the biggest animals of this species, however.

India has developed a long tradition of yoga. Yoga had been followed by its practitioners in India from
the ancient times. But yoga had not been in practice of common people of India. The Buddhist sect of the
world had adopted it into their tradition and had spread it all over the world. But there had not been many
teachers and genuine learners of yoga in the past except at the level of certain devotees. Yoga sutra that
had standardized the classical yoga was written by Patanjali and his associates. Following Patanjali a

few great teachers of yoga had been teaching and popularising it in India and abroad. For the last few
years the whole world had been celebrating June 21 as the International Yoga Day. People have realised
yoga has invaluable impact on their life and wellness, if practised daily. The day is not far when yoga

will have become an integral part of our lives.
