learning from nature

complementarity between two entirely different things is evidence that there is one Creator of both. it is a highly well-planned creation. This phenomenon of nature leads us to believe that a single force controls the whole of nature. it leads us to believe that there is a unity of purpose in nature. it leads us further to believe in what may be called the oneness of God and the oneness of man. This phenomenon of nature gives us the right ideology of life—an ideology that is the basis of universal peace and brotherhood. it dispels the notion of ‘we and they’; it promotes the oneness of thought. it saves us from all kinds of distractions. This ideology inculcates the notion that nature is not hostile but friendly towards us. Moreover, when we discover that nature is friendly, we also have no option but to adopt this friendly culture in our society. Then the other aspect of Miss T’s experience is that we try to turn all the things around us to our advantage. We try to absorb all the things intellectually that have already been physically absorbed by our stomachs. Everyone talks of spirituality. however, what is spirituality? spirituality is not anything mysterious. spirituality can be arrived at through contemplation rather than through meditation. spirituality is an intellectual phenomenon. in my experience, the basis of spirituality is the mind rather than the heart. our digestive system is a mechanism that can extract physical energy from material food. similarly, our minds can extract spiritual energy from the same material items.
