Mohanji speaks about two aspects of nature – one is the nature within us and the other is the outside nature that sustains us. Our nature is what we are. We need to tune up our inherent nature to suit the nature outside because when we sustain nature, it sustains us. Today's "food for thought" is, "How can we be in harmony with nature outside?"

Hello friends,

Welcome to another episode of Mohanji Speaks.

Today we talk about nature.

What is nature?

Nature has two aspects or there are many aspects but let us talk about two aspects.

One is the nature within,

Our nature and the second is the nature outside us which sustains us.

First we think about our nature.

What is our nature?

Our nature is a combination of so many factors such as character,

Constitution,

Emotions,

Our disposition,

Even our form as well as expressions.

All put together is our nature.

Our nature has various dimensions and we can only express or experience this world according to our nature,

According to our disposition,

According to what we are.

So our nature is what we are.

That's essentially the whole life's method or presentation means we are living this,

The whole life in this nature.

Now we have a nature outside,

The nature which is infinitely patient,

Always loving,

Always caring and never asking anything back.

But if the harmony is disturbed,

It suffers.

When the disturbance becomes too much,

It gives one slap,

One hit and that could be quite detrimental.

It could wipe out a species.

We have seen that also in the history.

So the aspect of our nature is indirectly connected to the nature outside or what we are has a lot of importance to how the mankind would be.

Each individual put together living harmoniously on earth beyond caste,

Creed,

Country,

Religion,

Culture,

Then there is a very big chance that we will sustain the nature outside in a prolonged way,

Means its longevity will be more.

But if you are greedy and we are displaying base emotions like anger,

Hatred,

Revenge,

All those things,

Then it also will reflect in the nature outside,

In the world outside.

World outside is the expression of nature.

When we display this kind of greed and this kind of base emotions to the world,

Then the nature may take a stand at some point in time.

It may allow a few generations to pass by.

Then suddenly it just shifts finished.

Then we have emptiness.

The nature outside do not really care for any species,

Even though it nurtures every species.

It will not matter if one species does not exist on it because it doesn't matter to it.

We need the nature,

Not the nature needs us.

So this should be very clear.

So we need to tune up our nature,

Inherent nature,

To suit the nature outside.

That is the whole point I am trying to tell you.

That means we must tone up our nature sufficiently to connect to the nature outside and we should be in harmony with the nature outside.

And if we don't,

Then just a matter of time.

It is just a matter of time before big catastrophes can happen.

Now this coronavirus situation right now,

Where all are in confinement while the world is open for every other species,

It's a true sign of how the nature could work.

Even if you say that this was a man-made calamity,

Look at the net result of this.

It affected everybody.

It affected all the human beings in the world,

One way or the other,

And it will continue to affect because of the social economical meltdowns and stuff.

It will continue to affect for a long period of time.

So we must understand that the actions which we have taken or the methods which we have used in the past have not been really conducive for a sustained existence.

We might have prolonged our life span with our medicines or with our technology.

We might have connected to people like we are connecting now through waves of energies.

This is all good because these are all human innovations,

But at the same time,

Has humanity risen up in the same way?

Have we really tackled the looming danger of climate change?

It's affecting everybody.

Or have we really tackled the human interference into the forest,

The nature,

Destroying killing species indiscriminately,

Trigger happy.

These kind of things we must understand what have been our behavior pattern.

This is very important to understand when we wake up early in the morning,

We must know this.

What have been our behavior patterns all these years?

We have ignored a lot of crimes to the nature while we have spoken a lot about things which are not really important like cheating,

Stealing.

We should eradicate all that and but we should not really overwhelmingly talk about it on media and all these things who cheated whom and somebody siphoned money off corruptions.

All these are signs of the human degeneracy and that degeneracy is also reflected in the nature in the form of exploitation of nature.

Water,

Earth,

The skies,

Everything is exploited.

So it's become difficult for every species to live on earth who created this we created this so our nature has to be totally cleaned in order to connect to the nature outside so that we can live harmoniously.

Otherwise we will have problem not only as many many species will have problem like we have seen thousands of species are extinct forest fires natural calamities,

Tsunamis,

Earthquakes,

Wars,

Destruction.

So various kinds ethnic cleansing what all we have seen in life in the history.

You look at the history mad conquest disturbances displacements.

This is all sign of turbulent nature inside that's causing the turbulence outside.

So the nature inside has a great value if we really don't tone up the nature inside into compassion kindness the highest of human values such as selflessness.

If this is not happening while we are living every day.

I mean,

There is no tomorrow for this right now right now is the time and accept people encourage people who are doing good things in the world for the people for the for the nature for ecology encourage them support them guide them finance them help them so that more and more people more and more species are sustained when everything is sustained this nature sustains us.

So when we sustain the nature the nature sustains us when we do not pollute the nature the nature does not pollute us.

So what we give we get what we sow we reap with this thought on your plate.

I leave you please do discuss about it.

Please talk about this in detail with all your friends all the people try to share this information with people.

This is a foot for thought.

I'm not giving you any answers.

You should find answers answers are within you.

There's no need for me to tell you what is truth because you know it already.

I'm just reminding you so share this and then get this thought spreading in the mind so that we could probably see a better mindset for a better world.

I leave you with these thoughts.

This is Mohanji.

Thank you.
