Nature is an Echo H.H.Swami Chinmayananda

We are the ones who are poisoning nature. After poisoning it we complain. Cleaning the Ganga is not necessary. It is we who make it dirty. If we stop dirtying it, we need not spend millions of rupees to purify it. Stop poisoning it. The pure waters that are coming down from the top will wash away these dirty waters and the water will become as pure as before.

Reforestation is not necessary if you are not cutting down the trees indiscriminately. Mother Nature is always pure. It is made impure by our own misbehaviour. Man destroys nature. Nature is not responsible for it.

Subjectively unless we change, the outer world cannot change. The outer pollution in air, water and so on, is only a reflection of our inner pollution.

The scriptural Masters, the subjective scientists have always insisted that you make the world. All of us put together is the Virat – the totality of the universe. If we learn to live harmoniously there will be no problem.

So long as the attitude is purely materialistic and selfish with no touch of spirituality, nature will continue to be disturbed by our actions. It is an echo. That is why it is called EC(H)OLOGY!

Nature is only echoing our behaviour. If you don’t change, nobody can pressurise you, but Nature will make you suffer. We must apologise to Nature, and say that we have misbehaved and we are sorry. Nature is always forgiving.
