Answer:
The poet invokes a powerful symbol of the earth to say that there can be life under apparent stillness. He says that earth is a great teacher. In its quietness, its strong message resounds. It seems silent and yet nurtures so much life on it. The poet wants to begin his mission of giving our lives a thought. He wants us to be productive in our silence.
