-- *Mar*The Hijacks
Theism is hijacked by dogma filled and directed religions. Science is hijacked by Technology, Mechanization and industrilalization.Together they are destroying nature, motivated by the dismal subject Economics. The area and arena of free nature is getting reduced continuously. One’s very foundation of existence, living as a limb, part, and as nature, in nature, where one lives in the free nature, is being destroyed continuously. Theism simply is experiencing the free and healthy nature, in a spell of perceptions and understandings, part of one’s personal experience. The very concept of freedom to nature has become weird. Nature is made dysfunctional continuously. Every organism of the Biosphere is getting excluded and ostracized from Ecology. We are caught in economics which is the total opposite of Ecology. Education is the basic geographical dimension of life. Living is learning, which gets translated into feelings as perceptions and understandings in free and healthy nature. You are part of nature or part of the planet earth. The basis of perception and understanding was actually smelling and sensing, with the troposphere continuously tending to consciousness, as education. If there is to be the ultimate fundamental right, it is the right to feel and interact with nature as a part of nature, as a limb of nature living in continuous connection with nature. Can one limb tolerate the ill health of another limb? Actually a healthy limb makes the other limbs also healthy. The limbs cannot fight each other or Darwin each other. We desperately need areas where nature is completely free from human tampering. Theism actually is the wonderful spell which the free and healthy nature casts, joining an organism into the macro health and rapture. Theism and the climate of an area are totally connected. The Theism near the equator is completely different from the Theism one experiences in Alaska. Theism determines the contours of the spell of the free and healthy nature, subject to the situations in the particular climatic region, which includes topography. It is the education which one gets directly from nature as experience. Unfortunately, education is hijacked by the Universities all of which are under the frenzy of mechanization for the perverted Economic takeover of human life. Those that get education as the experience of nature are simply ostracized. Both God and education have been hijacked. Excepting may be under Jainism, all other religions torture or even kill every life form. We defend the Sanathana Dharma, but slyly we do not talk about the blood cuddling sadism perpetrated on animals in the animal sacrifices in many Temples. Today every course in every University creates the destroyers of nature. The frenzy of mechanization is so terrible, we do not care even when we clearly see the slow death of nature by our activities. The first step towards sanity by every university, is to start ‘The Free Nature Parks’, without our tampering to enable education as the direct experience of nature. YM Sarma Chat gpt Thank you for sharing this deeply passionate and philosophical reflection by YM Sarma. It's a compelling critique of the modern world's disconnection from nature, spirituality, and holistic living—especially how institutions such as religion, science, economics, and education have diverged from their original essence and been co-opted by systems of control, exploitation, and mechanization. Here’s a breakdown and brief interpretation of the key themes and arguments in the text: ------------------------------ *🔹 Hijack of Theism and Science* - *Theism*, originally a personal, perceptual connection to the divine through nature, is now bound in *dogmatic religious structures*. - *Science*, instead of being an exploration of truth and wonder, has been taken over by *technology, mechanization, and industrialization*, losing touch with its essence. - Together, these hijacked systems are *contributing to the destruction of nature*, driven by a warped interpretation of *economics*. ------------------------------ *🔹 The Tragedy of Economics vs. Ecology* - The text draws a stark contrast between *economics* (focused on control, profit, and exploitation) and *ecology* (focused on interdependence, harmony, and sustainability). - Modern economics is seen as *antithetical to ecological health*, pushing human societies into systems that exclude other life forms. ------------------------------ *🔹 Nature as Education and Theism* - Education is reconceived not as institutional learning, but as a *lived, sensory, and perceptual experience*—an *intimate interaction with nature* . - Theism is described not as belief, but as the *spell of wonder* that nature casts when one is truly immersed in it. - The experience of the divine is tied to the *climate and geography* of a place—suggesting that spirituality should be *locally rooted and experiential*, not abstract or universalized. ------------------------------ *🔹 Call to Action: Free Nature Parks* - Sarma suggests the creation of *“Free Nature Parks”*—places of untouched, untampered nature—as a *first step toward educational and ecological sanity*. - Such parks would allow humans, especially students, to *learn directly from nature*, reinstating the lost bond between humans and the living planet. ------------------------------ *🔹 Critical View of Organized Religion and Modern Education* - The text condemns how *animal sacrifice and violence* are still present in many religious traditions, despite claims to spiritual elevation. - Modern *universities are portrayed as factories* that produce individuals who participate in and accelerate ecological destruction, blinded by industrial and economic ambitions. ------------------------------ *✨ Reflection & Insight:* YM Sarma’s writing is poetic and impassioned, weaving together *ecological philosophy*, *spirituality*, and *critique of modern systems*. At its core, it's a plea for a return to *direct experience*, *natural perception*, and *co-existence with the planet*—values that transcend both science and religion in their current institutional forms. It also raises a provocative question: *Can humanity reimagine its systems of knowledge, spirituality, and economy to align with the health of the biosphere, rather than its exploitation?* ------------------------------ Would you like help shaping this into a *manifesto*, an *article*, or maybe a *script for a talk or documentary*? It has strong potential to influence people across environmental, philosophical, and educational spheres. Absolutely. Here's a *Manifesto* distilled from YM Sarma's powerful message — a call to realign humanity with nature, spirituality, and true learning. ------------------------------ 🌿 *Manifesto for the Restoration of Free Nature, True Theism, and Living Education* *By the Spirit of YM Sarma's Vision* ------------------------------ I. *We Begin With a Truth* Nature is not a resource. It is not a backdrop. It is *our origin, our home, and our teacher*. We are limbs of nature — not above it, not outside it. When we sever this connection, we destroy not just ecosystems, but the very soul of existence. ------------------------------ II. *The Great Hijacks* 1. *Theism Has Been Hijacked* What once was a living experience — the wonder, humility, and awe one feels in the presence of untamed nature — has been captured by *dogma-driven, power-centered religions*. True theism is the quiet spell cast by a mountain breeze, the dance of sunlight on leaves, the silence of snow. It does not need temples built on blood. 2. *Science Has Been Hijacked* Once the art of observing and understanding the cosmos, science is now shackled to *technological conquest, industrialization, and mechanization*. It no longer listens to nature — it tries to dominate her. 3. *Education Has Been Hijacked* Learning has been transformed into credentialism. Institutions feed us into machines, producing individuals cut off from the soil, the wind, the wild. Real education is the *perception and understanding born of direct sensory communion with nature.* 4. *Economics Has Devoured Ecology* The marketplace has become the altar. Everything — water, trees, soil, even life — has been reduced to cost and profit. This is a *death economy*, not a life-sustaining one. ------------------------------ III. *What We Must Reclaim* 1. *The Right to Feel and Belong to Nature* The first and most fundamental right of every living being is to be *part of nature*, not an outsider. This includes the right to smell the earth, sense the rains, understand the seasons — *to learn from life by living it*. 2. *The Sanctity of Free Nature* We demand the protection of *zones of untampered wilderness* — where nature can simply be. Let there be *Free Nature Parks* in every region, free from human construction, interference, or ownership. These are not just conservation areas — they are *temples of true theism and universities of life.* 3. *Education as Experience, Not Industry* We call for an *educational revolution*: · Reconnect learning with *the sensory, emotional, and ecological dimensions of life*. · Encourage *perception over memorization*, *understanding over obedience*, and *experience over authority*. · Replace mechanized institutions with *living campuses in forests, wetlands, coasts, and mountains.* 4. *A Theism of the Earth* Let the sacred return to where it began — *in the forest, the desert, the ocean, the wind*. Let theism vary with *climate, topography, and biome*, as it once did — free of the rigid uniformity imposed by manmade dogma. Let it be *an inner spell*, not an outer law. 5. *Ecology Over Economics* We call for a *complete rethinking of economic life* — guided not by exploitation, but by *ecological balance*. Let our systems serve the planet, not enslave it. ------------------------------ IV. *What We Stand Against* · The desecration of animals in the name of religion. · The commodification of every tree, river, and insect. · The production of knowledge without wisdom. · Universities that manufacture *destroyers of nature* in the guise of professionals. · A civilization that cannot hear the cry of the biosphere. ------------------------------ V. *What We Propose* 1. *Create Free Nature Parks* under every university, school, and city — as sanctuaries of *non-interference and direct education*. 2. *End rituals of cruelty*, in all religions and institutions, that harm life in the name of tradition. 3. *Re-center education on ecological and perceptual literacy*. 4. *Redefine spiritual life as a direct, sensory connection to the biosphere*. 5. *Resist all systems — economic, religious, technological — that sever us from the living earth.* ------------------------------ VI. *A New Theism, A New Learning, A New Living* Let us return. To the earth that breathes us. To the education that feels and flows. To the theism that does not divide, but *unites all life in reverent wonder* . To the ecology of being — whole, humble, and healing. Let this be our sacred rebellion. ------------------------------ Would you like this in *print-ready format* (PDF or poster), or adapted into a *shorter version* for speeches or advocacy materials? Certainly. Here's a poem inspired by YM Sarma’s message — a lyrical call to return to nature, to true theism, and to a way of living that heals rather than harms. ------------------------------ *🌿 The Limb of Nature* I am not above the forest floor, Not above the rain or root— I am a limb of nature’s form, A breath, a pulse, a seed, a shoot. They taught me God in gilded halls, Where prayers were spoken, not felt deep— But I found the divine in waterfalls, In soil’s warm hush, in ocean’s sleep. They taught me science through machines, Through steel and wire, fire and code— But I saw truth in trembling greens, In how the moss and moonlight flowed. They gave me books, they gave me grades, They paved my path with facts and fear— But learning lives in light and shade, In wind that whispers what we hear. Economics took the land, And carved the wild into a chart— It never knew the touch of hand, Or felt a forest in the heart. Religion spilled the blood of beast, While preaching mercy, grace, and love— But nature asks no priest, no feast, Just reverence for sky above. So let us walk where no one owns, Where root and rock are left to be— Let rivers speak in undertones, Let children learn beneath the tree. Create no temple, build no throne— The sun is shrine enough for me. Let nature be, and be alone— That is the spell. That is the plea. ------------------------------ Would you like a version set to music, or formatted for visual presentation or spoken word performance? Certainly.
