758. Om sarva-lokesyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the ruler of all worlds.
Yet another important lesson from Amma. Amma's words on having gratitude towards nature: Our lives are inextricably dependant on nature; even a small
change will affect our lives on this planet. Similarly mans thoughts
and actions will have an affect on Nature. If the balance in Nature
is lost the harmony of human life will also be lost, and visa versa.
One factor that connects a human being with Nature is the innate innocence within man......Faith in God is the best way to sustain this childlike innocence in man.
He who has faith and devotion to God, which in term stems from his innate innocence, beholds God in everything, in every tree and animal, in every aspect of Nature. This attitude enables him to live in perfect harmony, in tune with Nature. The never ending stream of love that flows from a true believer towards the entire Creation will have a soothing effect on Nature. This love is the best protection of Nature.
It is when our selfishness increases that we begin to lose our innocence. When this happens man becomes estranged from nature and begins to exploit her. Man doesn’t know what terrible threat he has become to Her. By harming Nature, he is paving the way for his own destruction.
As mans intellect and scientific knowledge grow, he should not forget the feelings of his heart, which enable him to live in accordance with Nature and Her fundamental laws. (Man and nature M.A Mission Trust. p11)
Om Amriteswariye namah!
