Nature is in constant change. Every organism is part of nature, and therefore every organism is continuously changing. In a free and healthy environment, both nature and its organisms grow in harmony. Within nature’s organic symbiosis, each organism encounters ever-renewing life, creating a continuous thrill and rapture of existence. Every passing moment brings new discoveries; the future feels alive with anticipation. Optimism fills the troposphere. Life’s lessons are not taught but lived. As a limb of Gaia, one participates in her vast waves of happiness. At times these waves intensify, producing exhilarating and shattering revelations that overwhelm and transform. The biosphere itself is a network of shared sensations. These spread as waves of joy, forming countless melodies. All organisms participate in this grand symphony, turning the troposphere into a great harmonica. Now let us reflect on what we are doing today. We are caught in a frenzy of expanding mechanization. Every machine harms nature because it inevitably disturbs, distorts, or destroys nature’s symbiotic balance. When you use a machine, you freeze a part of nature. When you sing freely in healthy nature, other organisms instinctively sense and join you, creating a living musical symphony. Machines silence this music. Instead of participating, you stop, observe, and become a detached scientific spectator. Through machines, we attempt to manipulate nature and call the results “inventions.” Yet nature is composed of innumerable micro-powerhouses—atoms, molecules, cells. Can we manufacture a cell, that miniature universe of interdependent components? Our eyes cannot see the smallest units that are truly at work, generating energy waves and light itself. Human beings are designed not merely to see, but to feel—to sense wholes rather than fragments—and thereby to participate in the whole. In free and healthy nature, one experiences nature’s power as one’s own, because one is organically connected as a limb of the whole. Today, we have lost this holistic connection and have maimed ourselves. A fundamental truth is this: when a machine performs the work of a limb, the limb gradually freezes. Its hormonal and neural connections weaken and become dysfunctional. Yet we deceive ourselves into calling this dysfunction comfort, luxury, or progress. Mechanization spreads because trading systems must sell in order to profit—a profound illusion. When one person’s income is another’s expenditure, total income and total expenditure can only balance; there can be no real profit. What we call profit is, in reality, damage inflicted upon nature. Accountancy becomes a system of deception, concealing the true costs of ecological destruction. We urgently need vast areas free from mechanization—spaces where nature is entirely untouched by human interference. Today, universities caught in the frenzy of mechanization are destroying genuine education. They train not caretakers of life, but destroyers of nature—a modern corps of Bhasmasuras. The urgent remedy is to establish Free Nature Parks, places where nature is allowed to exist, evolve, and sing without human tampering. *YM Sarma* ------------------------------ If you’d like, I can also: - Make it more poetic or more academic - Shorten it for publication - Edit it for a specific audience (students, environmentalists, policymakers) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
