1. During our growing up years we as children were taught-both at home and school-to worship the photos and idols of the Gods of our respective religions When we grow a little older we were told to read holy books like the Bhagwad Gita e Bible and the Quran, we were told that there are a lot of life lessons to be learnt from these holy books We were then introduced to stories from our mythologies which taught us about ethics and morality-what is good and what is bad I also learnt to be respectful towards my parents who made my life comfortable with their hard work and love and care, and my teachers who guided me to become a good student and also a responsible citizen
2. Much later in life, I realised that though we learnt much from our respective holy books. there is a lot to learn from our surroundings. This realisation dawned upon me when I learnt to enquire and explore. Everything around us-the sun, the moon, the stars, rain. rivers, stones, rocks, birds, plants and animals-teach us many valuable life lessons.
3. No wonder that besides the scriptures in many cultures, nature is also worshipped. The message that is transmitted is that of maintaining environment and ecological balance People are taught to live in harmony with nature and recognise that divinity is there every where
4. Nature is a great teacher. A river never stops flowing If it finds an obstacle in its way in the form of a heavy rock, the river water fights to remove it from its path or finds an alternative path to move ahead. This teaches us to be progressive in life and keep the fighting spirit alive
5. We learn a lot in nature's lap but are unwilling to comprehend it. Rather than being considerate to our surrounding and environment, we are being senselessly insensitive. Overcome with greed, we are destroying nature, the extent of which is so profound that we are frequently facing natural disasters like droughts, floods and landslides We refuse to accept that nature is angry with us We forget that if the dam of patience bursts, the result is destruction
6. However, it is never too late to learn. If we learn to respect nature, the quality of our life
