Sikkim the word itself gives a nostalgic memories!! Literally I have traveled in many state and have met with men of all classes, but never in my travels did I feel the presence of the human so distinctively as in this land! In other states signs of man's power loomed large, and I saw vast organization which showed extravagance, in dress, in furniture,in costly entertainments, are startling. They seem to push you back into a corner, like a poor intruder at a feast ;they are apt to make you envious, or take your breath away with amazement. There, you do not feel man as supreme;you are hurled against a Stupendousness of things that alienates. But in Sikkim it is not the display of power, or wealth that is the predominating element. You see everywhere emblems of love and admiration, and not mostly of ambition and greed. You see a people who's heart has come out and scattered itself in profusion in its commonest utensils of everyday life,

What has impressed me most in this country is the conviction that you have realized natures secrets, not by methods of analytical knowledge, but by sympathy. You have known her language of lines, and music of colours, the symmetry in her irregularities and cadence in her freedom of movements;you have discovered that nature reserves her power in forms of beauty, and it is the beauty which, like a mother nourishes all the giant forces at her breast, keeping them in active vigour, yet in repose.
I have felt that you have been able to assimilate these secrets into your life and the truth which lies in the beauty of all things has passed into your souls.
Dominating nature from outside is much simpler thing than making her your own in love's delight, which is a work of true genius,
You people have shown that genius
Not by acquirement, but by creation, not by display of things, but by manifestation of its own inner being
The genius of Sikkim has given you the vision of beauty in nature and the power of realizing it in your life,
This spiritual bond of love Sikkim has established with the hills of her state, with the rivers and the streams, with the forest in all their flowery moods and varied physiognomy of branches;she has taken into heart all the rustling whispers and signing of the woodlands and shobbing of the flow of water.
And the true expression of this love is in the language of beauty, which is so abundantly univesal in this land,
This is the reason why a stranger like me myself instead of feeling envy or humiliation before these manifestations of beauty, these creation of love, feels a readiness to participate in the joy and glory of such revealment of human heart💜❤.
Last but not the least the people of Sikkim are donning the aura of quintessential man on earth! Love you all and hat tip to your ethical sense! People have to take a lesson from you all😍.
