অনুচ্ছেদ : বাংলাদেশের ঋতুবৈচিত্র

বাংলাদেশের ঋতুবৈচিত্র্য ষড়ঋতুর দেশ বাংলাদেশ। গ্রীষ্ম, বর্ষা, শরৎ, হেমন্ত, শীত ও বসন্ত- এ ছয় ঋতুর আবর্তন বাংলাদেশের প্রকৃতি ও জনজীবনকে করে তোলে বৈচিত্র্যময়। প্রতিটি ঋতু তার স্বতন্ত্র ও অনন্য বৈশিষ্ট্য নিয়ে হাজির হয় এবং নিজের অনাবিল সৌন্দর্য উপহার দিয়ে বিদায় নেয়। এক এক ঋতু আমাদের জীবনে নিয়ে আসে একেক রকম ফুল, ফল আর ফসলের সম্ভার। বাংলার প্রকৃতিতে ষড়ঋতুর এ পালাবদল অফুরন্ত সৌন্দর্যের ও বৈচিত্র্যের সৃষ্টি করে। জলবায়ুর প্রভাব ও ভৌগোলিক অবস্থানের কারণেই মূলত এদেশে ছয়টি ঋতু পর্যায়ক্রমে আবর্তিত হয়। বর্ষপঞ্জির হিসেবে বৈশাখ-জ্যৈষ্ঠ দুই মাস গ্রীষ্মকাল, আষাঢ়-শ্রাবন বর্ষাকাল, ভাদ্র-আশ্বিন শরৎকাল, কার্তিক-অগ্রহায়ণ হেমন্তকাল, পৌষ-মাঘ শীতকাল এবং ফাল্গুন-চৈত্র বসন্তকাল। তবে ঋতুর পরিবর্তন সকল সময় যেমন মাসের হিসাব মেনে চলে না, তেমনি আবার হঠাৎ করে রাতারাতিও এর পরিবর্তন ঘটে না। অলক্ষ্যে বিদায় নেয় এক ঋতু, নিঃশব্দে আগমন ঘটে নতুন ঋতুর। তবে প্রতিটি ঋতুর আগমন ঘটে ভিন্ন ভিন্ন রূপ, রং ও সৌন্দর্য নিয়ে। গ্রীষ্মের দাবদাহ ও রসালো ফলের সম্ভার, বর্ষার সজল মেঘের বৃষ্টি ও সবুজ প্রকৃতি, শরতের আলো ঝলমল স্নিগ্ধ আকাশ ও সৌন্দর...

ভাবসম্প্রসারণ : মন্ত্রের সাধন কিংবা শরীর পাতন

মন্ত্রের সাধন কিংবা শরীর পাতন মূলভাব : যে কোনো কাজের সাফল্যের জন্যে একেবারে উঠেপড়ে লাগতে হয়, অন্যথা সাফল্য অনিশ্চিত হয়ে পড়ে। যারা জান-প্রাণ বাজি রেখে কর্মে প্রবৃত্ত হয়, সাফল্য কেবল তাদের হাতে ধরা দেয়। সম্প্রসারিত ভাব : পৃথিবীর খুব কম কাজেই সহজ-সাফল্য আসে। অধিকাংশ ক্ষেত্রেই একনিষ্ঠ চেষ্টা-সাধনার দ্বারা সাফল্যকে অর্জন করে নিতে হয়। এছাড়া যে কোনো কাজের পেছনেই নানা বাধা-বিপত্তি ও প্রতিবন্ধকতা থাকে। আবার মানুষের জীবনও পুষ্পশয্যা নয়। এখানে রয়েছে নানা প্রাকৃতিক, মনুষ্যসৃষ্ট ও অনাকাঙ্ক্ষিত ঝঞ্ঝাট। মানুষকে এসব ঝঞ্ঝাট মোকাবেলা করেই জীবনে টিকে থাকতে হয়। আবার যে কোনো কাজের সাফল্যলাভ এবং ভালো কিছু অর্জনের জন্যে মানুষকে এসব ঝঞ্ঝাট ও বাধা-বিপত্তিকে অতিক্রম করতে হয়। কিন্তু জীবনের এসব প্রতিকূলতাকে মোকাবেলা করা ততো সহজ নয়। এজন্যে প্রয়োজন দৃঢ় প্রত্যয়, সাহস, ধৈর্য আর অক্লান্ত পরিশ্রম। এককথায় ‘Do or die.’ -এ নীতিতে বিশ্বাস রেখে জীবন চলার পথে অগ্রসর হতে হবে। যারা তা পারে তারাই জীবনে সফলতার দেখা পায়। আর যারা তা পারে না, যারা একটুতেই মুচড়ে পড়ে তাদের জীবন ব্যর্থতায় পর্যবসিত হয়। প্রাণিজগতে পিঁপড়া, মাকড়সা প্রভ...

ভাবসম্প্রসারণ : মনেরে আজ কহ যে / ভাল-মন্দ যাহাই আসুক / সত্যেরে লও সহজে।

মনেরে আজ কহ যে ভাল-মন্দ যাহাই আসুক সত্যেরে লও সহজে। মূলভাব : ভালো বা মন্দ যাই ঘটুক না কেন সত্যকে সহজ ও সাবলীলভাবে মেনে নিতে পারার সক্ষমতার মধ্যেই প্রতিফলিত হয় জীবনের সামগ্রিক সার্থকতা। সম্প্রসারিত ভাব : জীবনের গভীরতম বাস্তবতা হলো সত্য। মানবজীবনপ্রবাহ পরিবর্তনশীল। এখানে নিরবচ্ছিন্ন সুখ বা নিরবচ্ছিন্ন দুঃখ কেউ পায় না। তবু মানুষ যখন সুখের সাগরে অবগাহন করে তখন যদি হঠাৎ দুঃখ এসে হানা দেয়, মানুষ অসহায় ও হতাশ হয়ে পড়ে। কিন্তু জীবনের এ ছন্দপতন সহজভাবে মেনে নিতে শিখলে মানুষের জীবন আরও সহজ ও সুন্দর হয়ে উঠবে। জীবনসত্যের মুখোমুখি দাঁড়াতে হবে অনায়াসে। খারাপ বা ভালো যাই হোক না কেন- সত্যকে নিঃশঙ্কচিত্তে গ্রহণ করার মধ্যেই সূচিত হয় মানবিকতার উন্মেষ। অবশ্য এটা ঠিক যে, সত্য বাস্তব হলেও তা রূঢ় ও নিষ্ঠুর। ফলে সত্যের অধ্যবসায়ও কঠিন। তবুও সত্যই হওয়া উচিত জীবনের উদ্দিষ্ট লক্ষ্য। তবে সত্যকে রক্ষা করার জন্য প্রয়োজন দৃঢ়তা। এভাবে দৃঢ় মনোবলের মধ্য দিয়ে, আদর্শ ও নীতি অক্ষুণ্ণ রেখে মানুষ যদি প্রকৃত সৎ হয়ে ওঠে তাহলেই প্রকৃত গন্তব্যে পৌঁছাতে পারা যায়। কিন্তু সত্য প্রতিষ্ঠার, সত্য গন্তব্যে উপনীতি হবার সংগ্রাম অত্যন্ত ...
