When man wages war on man, he sends across a message of hatred to the universe. The trees, the rivers, the oceans tremble at his wrath.
Man today has isolated himself from the universe, thinking
himself to be in power and assuming the flora and the fauna, the planets and
the stars insignificant as compared to his power of intellect.
The ancient man however lived differently. It was more of
reverence for everything around. The sacred texts talk of an ecological balance
and express the need for the environment to be preserved. Man therefore was
expected to live with love and care alongside nature and not use it for his
benefit like he does today thereby exploiting it.
The five elements known as the Panch Mahabhutas namely the
earth, water, fire, air and space are even today worshipped by the God-fearing
and the humane who rightly understand their linking association in man and
nature.
We therefore are not disconnected from the outside but if we
were to abolish the din in the streets of our existence, then we could
understand the interconnection of all things in the universe.
When the Creator created man in His image, He first created
the beautiful nature for His creation to enjoy.
Nature therefore has a great role to play in the life of man.
It has a practical, aesthetic and a spiritual significance. A huge oak tree
growing in all its vastness is truly an object of amazing wonder at its
insignificant elementary stage of a small seed.
When man in his ignorance sets out to destroy the biodiversity,
he hardly realises the harm he does to himself. Just like in his materialism
when he forgets the spiritual need of his soul, in his greed he also forgets
the need of his brother.
The disharmony with which today’s man lives is greatly
therefore responsible for the natural calamities occurring in the world. Every
negative thought gets recorded and returns with a harder punch.
Everything in the world created by the Creator must
therefore be revered and worshipped as a part of Him.
The earth has suffered immensely from man’s ego. In order to
therefore save her, man needs to make some transformation from ego-centeredness
to circles of love and from revengefulness to kindness.
Ironically, a part of the world today perhaps due to its
hurried accumulation of intellect has overlooked the major need and necessity
of non-violence.
The other part of this same world is confused with the term
non-violence. The world today must understand that turning vegetarian and vegan
is not the remedy. It may be an initial attempt towards the goal but the goal
will finally be only reached if the men of this world will understand
non-violence as ‘Ahimsa-paramdharmah’ – the most important and primary duty of
man towards nature.
This essential awareness will lead man to spread love and
not hate. Life is for nurturing and not for destroying. When the modern,
educated man will understand that his restrain, his generosity, his patience
and his humility will be the four great pillars of his strength, then there
will be no poachers or jihadists destroying the edifice of life.
This is a wonderful message. Love has to circulated to evry one to kill the ego and other negative vibes.
