Each for All, All for Each
English book, p. 257
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Each for All, All for Each The trees give shade and flowers and fruits but they don’t demand any price for it. The earth grows all kinds of crops which are a support for humans and animals, but the earth does all this without wanting any reward for it. It is does all this just to serve others. Everywhere we hear beautiful birdsong but the birds don’t even expect any appreciation from us. A human being too is a part of nature. He also has to adopt the same way as the rest of the world has done on a vast scale. No other method of life is possible or desirable in this world. Humans are social animals. A person always lives his life amongst many others, being constantly in contact with them. Now the right and natural method is that when human beings interact with each other, everyone should benefit in one way or the other from everyone else. When two human beings meet, it is not like the meeting of two stones. Rather it is the meeting of two beings who should be examples of mercy and blessing for each other. Nature is the best guide, provided it suffers no disturbance.
