In Connection With Nature

Question: What relationship should we have with nature?

Answer: We need to learn nature’s principle law: the attribute of mutual connection. In everyday language we are speaking about love and bestowal. We exist as in a casing, within inanimate, vegetative, and animal nature. The only thing that a person needs to do is to become connected and fully integrated with it. After all, the completely integrated system is all of humanity, plus the inanimate, vegetative, and animal levels. In this case, we attain a complete picture of the structure, the feeling and revelation of nature as a whole, which means attaining the Creator.

Question: What is the connection with inanimate nature?

Answer: That is when I act the same as the rest of the animals in nature. I don’t destroy anything; I don’t perform needless acts, but use the world around me only to the extent that I need to for physical existence, and all my moral, internal energy is directed to connection with the general law of nature: the law of mutual bestowal, mutual connection, and love.

When I bestow and receive, I mutually take part in all that surrounds me, as an equal part, and in no way do I distinguish myself, but only aim at love and bestowal. This means that I don’t attain anything beyond that which is necessary for me.  If I am involved with an inner penetration of nature, which each person should be, then I don’t have any desire remaining to perform any acts in this world that don’t bring benefit.  The only thing that I need is to keep myself in normal physical condition, and all the rest is  to direct myself only towards connection with the upper force of nature, which is called the Creator.
