-- *Mar*The Invading Redundance
Today technology is making the nature in you and the vast nature out of you redundant. You use some machine to do the work of your limbs, making the limbs frozen due to non use. The whole hormonal communication among the cells in the limbs, as also the bacteria that make the cells function are getting frozen. The emotional bonding with the other organisms of the Biosphere, via breathing, smelling, sensing, perceiving, understanding and interacting by feeling from the internal hormonal level is disrupted. Inhalation and exhalation create smell messages, which become hormonal messages within you and they relate the hormonal communication in every other organism, creating the great emotional bonding, making the Biosphere one single organism. Today we are killing that ultimate organism, the Biosphere or Gaia, diseased. When you walk leisurely in free,lush and healthy nature, you relate emotionally with trillions of organisms, via inhalation and exhalation and hearing the sounds of music from nature. Learning by slow walking becomes living. The learning gets absorbed automatically within you, making you participant in the gigantic functioning symbiosis of nature. Every cell and bacterium in you becomes active participant in that gigantic symbiosis. Every cell and bacterium in you becomes an active ecological functioning link. Today we simply speed away in cars etc losing the great learning from nature. Now we are destroying nature continuously and we like the truly mad persons think that destruction is great advancement. Sanity has become redundant. And we are repudiating our heritage of thousands of years. In Tamilnadu a great shining star of wisdom, Sadguru gets smeared and scandalized by the father of two women one 35 years old and another 42 years old, qualified Engineers, who want to relate to nature and reduce technology from their lives, and who have decided to live in nature as nature, and who joined the wonderful Ashram of Isha Foundation. The two women appear personally before the Judge or Judges of the High Court stating that they are sane and exercising their free will. Still the High Court orders investigation.150 policemen invade the Ashram as though it is an armed terrorist den and now YouTubes are busy scandalizing. That the Ashram is open to all internationally and that every university in the whole world wants to hear him, does not bother the rulers of Tamilnadu. Luckily the Supreme Court intervened. Tamilnadu is the great land of Musics and Songs and simply stunning Temples. Millions of Devotees visit them. They are the banners of the Holistic approach to contemplation. Millions of artists and sculptors contributed to the great aura of those Temples for hundreds of years. And we have the great pioneer Jagan credited with mixing pig fat in the prasadam of Tirupathi! Temples are getting desecrated and we want economic development only. In Andhra Pradesh for five years we had economics as looting. We urgently need sanity. We must start free nature parks without human tampering, so that nature bounces back in full glory, gifting us with sanity. YM Sarma Chat GPT YM Sarma's essay, **"The Invading Redundance,"** critiques the modern technological advancements that are isolating humanity from nature, making both our internal biology and the broader environment increasingly redundant. Sarma emphasizes how the very essence of our emotional and biological symbiosis with nature—through breathing, sensing, and interacting—is being eroded by technology. ### Key Themes: 1. **Disconnection from Nature**: Sarma argues that machines are taking over the functions that our limbs and bodies used to perform, resulting in physical and emotional stagnation. This stagnation leads to the disruption of **hormonal communications** within the body and between organisms, which is crucial for maintaining the **emotional symbiosis** that makes the Biosphere function as one interconnected organism. The replacement of natural interaction with mechanical solutions causes a breakdown in the **smell-based communication system** that binds all life. 2. **The Role of Breathing and Movement**: He emphasizes that slow walking in nature, inhaling the fresh air, and absorbing the sights and sounds of life is essential for learning and emotional bonding. This natural process is contrasted with the **mechanical speed** of cars and other modern conveniences, which remove us from nature and the vast emotional knowledge it holds. Walking in nature allows every cell in the body to actively engage in **ecological functioning**, contributing to the symbiotic relationship with the Earth. 3. **Criticism of Technological Advancement**: Sarma critiques the **madness of modernity**, where technological progress is celebrated even as it destroys the environment and alienates humanity from nature. He laments that what was once **sanity**—the slow, mindful connection with nature—has become redundant, replaced by a destructive obsession with economic development and technological efficiency. 4. **Cultural and Spiritual Concerns**: Sarma addresses the scandal surrounding **Sadguru** and the Isha Foundation, where two women chose to reject technology and live in harmony with nature. He uses this case to highlight the disconnect between modern legal and societal systems and the free exercise of **holistic spiritualism**. Sarma contrasts this with the rich **spiritual heritage** of Tamil Nadu, its temples, and artistic contributions that emphasize contemplation and connection with the cosmos. 5. **Call for Revival**: Sarma’s central argument is that we need to **restore sanity** by creating **free nature parks** where no human tampering takes place, allowing nature to regenerate itself. This restoration would enable humanity to re-establish emotional and biological symbiosis with the Biosphere, returning us to a state of balance and holistic understanding. ### Philosophical Reflection: In Sarma’s view, technology has become not just a tool but a **vice** that undermines the very foundations of human life and the natural world. He calls for a revival of **ecological awareness** and **holistic perception**, where emotional bonding with nature becomes the norm, not the exception. His critique of modernity echoes the concerns of **deep ecology** and other environmental philosophies that question the sustainability and ethical implications of unchecked technological advancement. By linking spiritual health with environmental preservation, Sarma advocates for a **return to nature-based living**, where every breath, every step, and every interaction is rooted in a deep connection to the Earth. He suggests that this reconnection is not only possible but urgently needed to prevent the destruction of the **Biosphere's destiny**. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
