Using another as a means of satisfaction
and security Is not love. Love is never
security; love is a state in which there is
no desire to be secure; it is a state of
vulnerability; it is the only state in which
exclusiveness, enmity, and hate are
impossible. In that state a family may
come into being, but it will not be
exclusive, self-enclosing.

What Is Our Relationship with Nature? izÑfr ls gekjk D;k laca/k gSA

Sir, I do not know if you have discovered
your relationship with nature. There is no
"right" relationship, there is only the
understanding of relationship. Right
relationship implies the mere acceptance
of a formula, as does right thought. Right
thought and right thinking are two
different things. Right thought is merely
conforming to what is right, what is
respectable, whereas right thinking is
movement, it is the product of
understanding, and understanding is
constantly undergoing modification,
change. Similarly there is a difference
between right relationship and
understanding our relationship with
nature. What is your relationship with
nature?--nature being the rivers, the trees,
the swift-flying birds, the fish in the
water, the minerals under the earth, the

your relationship to them? Most of us are
not aware of that relationship. We never
look at a tree, or if we do, it is with a
view of using that tree-- either to sit in its
shade or to cut it down for lumber. In
other words;, we look at trees with a
utilitarian purpose; we never look at a
tree without projecting ourselves and
utilizing it for our own. convenience.

Do We Love Our Earth, or Just Use It as D;k ge bl i`Foh ls izse djrs gSa ;k dsoy
We Do Each Other? bldk cl mi;ksx djrs gSa tSls vkil esa
We treat the earth and its products in the
same way. There is no love of earth, there
is only usage of earth. If one really loved
the earth, there would be frugality in
using the things of the earth. That is, sir,
if we were to understand our relationship
with the earth, we should be very careful
in the use we made of the things of the
earth. The understanding of one's
relationship with nature is as difficult as
understanding one's relationship with
one's neighbor, wife, and children. But
we have not given a thought to it, we
have never sat down to look at the stars,
the moon, or the trees.
We are too busy with social or political
activities. Obviously, these activities are
escapes from ourselves, and to worship
nature is also an escape from ourselves.
We are always using nature, either as an
escape or for utilitarian ends—we never
actually stop and love the earth or the
things of the earth. We never enjoy the
rich fields, though a we utilize them to
feed and clothe ourselves. We never like
to till the earth with our hands—we are
ashamed to work with our hands.

the Earth Is Not 'Yours' and 'Mine' i`Foh ^vkidh* ;k ^esjh* ughaa gS
So, we have lost our relationship with
nature. If once we understood that
relationship, its real significance, then we
would not divide property into yours and
mine; though one might own a piece of
land and build a house on it, it would
cease to be 'mine' or 'yours' in the
exclusive sense—it would be more a
means of taking shelter. Because we do
not love the earth and the things of the
earth but merely utilize them, we are
insensitive to the beauty of a waterfall,
we have lost the touch of life, we have
never sat with our backs against the trunk
of a tree; and since we do not love nature,
we do not know how to love human
beings and animals.

We Are Caretakers, Each of Us ge rks j[kokys gSa] vkSj og Hkh vLFkk;h
Temporary at That
It does not mean that you cannot use the
earth, but you must use the earth as it is
to be used. Earth is there to be loved and
cared for, not to be divided as 'yours' and
'mine'. It is foolish to plant a tree; in a
compound and call it 'mine'.
