What is Your Relationship with Nature?

 Know your relationship with Nature

We all strive day and night to achieve and becoming something. Everybody wants to become something, both physically and inwardly. 

And for this we come across conflicts and struggle of each day. When one is trying to become something, have ambition, competition and status in the outer world, then you may not have any relationship with other human beings nor with nature.

Many of us meet nature frequently despite living in cities with its crowd, noise, and traffic. How often you feel your connection with nature where you live day and night.

If you are not aware of your relationship with nature. I may say that you don't know who you are and what relationships you have with your mother, sister and brother or even your wife.

If you really want to understand your relationship with nature. You need to feel it and look at the beauty of it.

This is because we have never sat down to look at the stars, the moon, or the trees. Without projecting ourselves and using it for our own convenience, we have never explored the colors, sounds, and textures of nature.  We have lost our touch with nature and also with another human beings. I may say this since you have not understood deeply your relationship with nature what includes  trees, a little sapling, soil, river, bush around you.

Do you understand what it means to look at a tree, without your thoughts, with no memories obstructing your observation, sensitivity or state of attention so that there is only the tree and not you who is looking at the tree? No one have done this since a tree has no significance to you.  

The beauty of a tree means absolutely nothing to you, since you associate beauty with something else. Then how can you feel the pain of another human being and even not look at the destruction of nature?

Nature is within us. Nature works itself for humanity.

This we all need to understand that beauty is not only about something how it looks, but it’s your responsiveness to the world around you and the ability to observe to nature.
