For being peaceful, try to be in harmony with mother nature

CHENNAI: We live in a society where everyone pretends to be alright. But the fact remains that we humans are highly unpredictable as compared to the laws of nature that are not only fixed and determinable but also predictable. The same theory applies for animals too who act and behave according to their instincts. However, humans, who are considered to be the most developed and evolved species of living forms on earth, are a class apart.

The most critical faculty that distinguishes us from the rest of the species is our intellect. It is in fact a divine gift to humans, through which we can rise up to the highest level of divinity. But a thorough research done over the years shows that in the long course of human journey through repeated rebirths and interaction with matter and other humans, the original power and purity of human intellect gradually diminishes. This slow decay manifests in the form of weaknesses or vices such as lust, anger, greed, ego, etc. The same intellect, which exalts us to the status of divine beings, when wrongly used, can turn us into the most fearsome, terrible and destructive beings on this earth as is often witnessed today.

One must remember a fact that mother nature never inflicts pain on humans but continues to sustain us and replenish its resources even after over-exploitation by humans. But, due to mass degradation of human intellect, the elements of nature show aberrations in the form of earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, fires, drought etc.So what is the solution to this mass degradation of human intellect?
The only one that can be thought about at this point is to cure human nature, without which there cannot be harmony between nature and humans. For, in there lies the seed of all goodness,the potential to become pure, divine and peaceful beings who live and let everything on this earth exist in its natural order. Returning back to our true identity of being peaceful, pure and blissful souls playing our part as human nature will restore everything in this world to its original harmonious order, bringing enlightenment to humanity.
