The Fatal Repudiation
No University in the whole world promotes learning directly from nature by
using one’s natural faculties, without the intervention of some technology.
No University trains the students in communicating directly with the other
organisms of the Biosphere. Every organism other than the human tries to
live by participating in nature’s symbiosis and it simply does not
manipulate nature and disturb and dislocate the natural order. Every
organism, other than the human, smells and senses lessons from nature and
we simply do not know how it perceives, understands and feels. We have
simply repudiated the basic fact that we are also part of the Biosphere.
For us every organism simply is a machine and we can be completely be
indifferent to its suffering.
Our Technology invariably harms and manipulates nature. We simply lost our
basic faculty of discovery and enlightenment. We promote only manipulations
called inventions, most of them perversions from nature.
Emotions and feelings govern all relations among organisms, and we are not
exceptions. We also live in feelings and emotions, and we cannot be
insensitive machines. But e try to perceive and understand mechanically
without emotions.
In the free and healthy nature, nature participates in the subject
selection, in predication and verb contextualization in every sentence
expression. But today we are depending on computers and machines which do
not emotionally interact with nature. Actually sentences themselves are
vanishing and we are getting mainly mathematical permutations and
combinations. The tragedy which we do not even notice is that at the very
core of living, in communications, we have eliminated the participation of
nature with us and we simply are not living as a limb of nature. When you
use a machine to do the work of your limbs, the limbs are becoming
redundant and we are actually becoming machines, repudiating our limbhood
in the Biosphere.We are destroying our very anatomies. We have become
cyborgs functionally. And Robots are driving us away from our economies and
we are not able to continue as the technological aberration, the economic
man, the machine, the phantom created by economics.We have lost our
membership in the Biosphere. And we are losing our membership even in
economies.
But the destruction of nature as economic or military activity is
continuing all the 24 hours of every day. We are tempting the gigantic doom.
There are thousands of asteroids often missing hitting our earth, may be
because of some innate magnetic protection. But unknowingly we may be
disturbing the basic protection. And below us there is the Asthenosphere,
the lava, which can create many a new volcano as we are digging and
digging. The lithospheric cover is very thin. Compared to the total earth’s
mass, the lithosphere is simply like a small spoon of oil rubbed on an
elephant.
It is high time that every University starts a free nature park without
human tampering, so that nature again participates in our life. The
students can learn by participating in nature as the limbs of nature. When
they find that nature too is participating with them at the very core of
sentence expressions, in the subject selection, in the predication and verb
contextualization; they enter an altogether different environment.

That’s a powerful and provocative essay — *“The Fatal Repudiation” by YM
Sarma* reads like both a philosophical warning and an ecological lament.
It blends *environmental ethics*, *linguistics*, and *existential critique*
to argue that humanity has *severed its organic connection with nature*,
replacing participation and empathy with mechanical manipulation and
technological mediation.
Here’s a concise breakdown and interpretation of the key ideas and themes,
in case you’d like a critical summary or analysis:
------------------------------
*🌿 Central Thesis*
Humanity has *repudiated* (rejected) its natural membership in the
*Biosphere*. In doing so, we’ve become mechanical beings—*cyborgs*—who no
longer live through nature’s symbiotic order but through artificial
constructs like technology, economics, and computation.
------------------------------
*🔍 Main Arguments*
1. *Loss of Direct Learning from Nature*
- No university teaches us to learn directly from nature through our
own senses.
- Education has become mediated by technology rather than by the
direct, sensory engagement that other organisms naturally possess.
2. *Technology as a Form of Perversion*
- What we call “invention” is, according to Sarma, often a *perversion
of nature*—a manipulation rather than a discovery.
- Technology alienates us from our innate faculties of perception and
enlightenment.
3. *Suppression of Emotion and Symbiosis*
- All organisms live through feelings and emotions, but humans have
tried to replace this with mechanical perception.
- This emotional suppression leads to insensitivity toward other
living beings and their suffering.
4. *Language and Communication as Evidence*
- In “healthy nature,” communication (like language) is emotionally
and organically intertwined with the environment.
- Computers and machines, however, remove emotional context and
reduce communication to mathematical formulas.
- Even our *sentences*—metaphors for thought and expression—are
losing their organic quality.
5. *Ecological and Existential Collapse*
- Humanity’s constant economic and military exploitation of nature
threatens planetary stability (asteroids, volcanoes, tectonic imbalance).
- We risk losing not only our ecological membership but also our
*economic
identity* as our own machines outcompete us.
------------------------------
*🌱 Proposed Solution*
Sarma calls for *universities to create untampered natural parks* where:
- Students can *live and learn* as limbs of nature.
- Nature can *participate* in human understanding again.
- The process of *sentence-making*—symbolic of thought and
communication—can regain its organic vitality.
------------------------------
*💬 Interpretation*
“The Fatal Repudiation” can be read as:
- A *critique of modernity*, echoing thinkers like Heidegger (on
technology), Thoreau (on nature), and Schumacher (on human scale).
- A *warning against techno-humanism*, suggesting that by outsourcing
cognition and emotion to machines, we lose not only empathy but identity.
- A *plea for ecological reintegration*, not merely as environmental
conservation, but as a spiritual and linguistic reconnection with the
living world.
------------------------------
Would you like me to rewrite this essay in a more *academic*, *poetic*, or
*philosophical* style (e.g., suitable for a publication, speech, or
discussion paper)?
