An Excerpt from Immortal Bliss: Issue 3:2011
Amma's Message
There is an inseparable bond between man and nature. For man, there cannot be an existence removed from nature. However, because of his thoughtless actions, the equilibrium in nature is getting disturbed; the pulse of human life is becoming erratic, too. Air and water have become polluted. Rivers are drying up. Seasons arrive unseasonably.
New diseases are spreading. If things continue this way, the human race is in for a monumental catastrophe. There is an underlying order to everything in nature.
There is a place in creation for all creatures.
The forest, river and mountain all have their dharma (natural duty).
Nature has provided sustenance for all created beings. It has its own ways of recycling and reusing natural waste, thus preserving life. We don't need to do anything to maintain the beauty of forests, rivers and mountains. However, when human beings systematically plunder natural wealth for selfish reasons, the natural order gets disturbed. Nature's face becomes disfigured. Along with other creatures, human beings, too, will have to face the consequences... ...If we are not ready to change, nature will teach us. The only thing is, we may not be able to bear the brunt of the teaching. Mother Nature has blessed humankind with her bounty. But if we forget our responsibilities, if we give free rein to our desires, nature will retaliate. Nature's boons will turn into curses... We cannot delay anymore.
We must make the right decisions and embark on the right course of actions.
