learning from nature

English book, p. 221

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

LEARNING FROM NATURE These items are foodstuffs, but internally, these items are spiritual in nature. For example, if you think that God is constantly supplying all those natural bounties to man without asking for its price, this is a silent message that we too have to live as giver persons in our society without expecting that the receivers should give us anything in return. This kind of experience promotes the culture of selflessness, the culture of unilateral ethics, and the spirit of living as a problem-free member of society. We need a model code of ethics, and nature serves as that model. nature is a divine factory. it produces those items that are highly suitable for us. strangely enough, this industry works without consulting us. The character of nature is a predictable one. so, it is required of us that we live in our society as predictable members of it. nature works predictably. Thus, it gives us this lesson: live as a predictable member of your society. The highest quality of a human being can be summed up in these two words: predictable character.
