The System of Nature

English book, p. 57

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

THE SYSTEM OF NATURE from another’s, creating a tapestry of sounds. Everything embodies a new example of diversity. This diversity is found in every element of the universe, including humans. Studies in biology and psychology reveal that every human being is entirely different from another. Not only are fingerprints unique, but even each person’s cells differ from those of others. One person’s eyes do not match another’s. This diversity and difference are not merely for aesthetic beauty; they hold profound wisdom within. The truth is that all human progress is rooted in this diversity and difference. It is through this that discoveries are made, ideas clash, and ultimately, intellectual evolution takes place. Mutual challenges arise from this diversity, stimulating mental alertness and creativity. In any gathering where all participants share the same opinion, no new ideas emerge. In an industrial system where all engineers are moulded in the same way, new technology cannot be achieved. In a society where all writers share the same taste, creative literature cannot flourish. In a country where all politicians come from the same mould, they cannot accomplish great political feats. Diversity and difference are fundamental laws of this world. They persist independently in every aspect of life. No human can alter this law. Even if someone tries to change it by force, nature’s powerful forces will eventually break down this artificial system and restore it to the principle of diversity. Wisdom resides in this truth: both individual intellectual growth and collective human progress stem from it.
