Inspiring words from Listen to Nature
Introduction
In this unique book Sri Chinmoy explores humanity’s deep spiritual connection with the natural world. With clarity, humility and wisdom he takes us to the source of our relationship with Nature, encouraging us to deepen our experience of the beauty, peace and vastness from which all life unfurls. His sleepless love and indefatigable optimism for the world inspire us to be courageous in our daily efforts to contribute to the health and well-being of life on our planet.
“When you are identified, consciously or unconsciously, with universal Nature, it is all vastness and immensity. There you lose your own outer existence, the existence of separateness, the feeling that you are separate from other persons. In that state of unified oneness, you become totally one with universal Nature; you become part and parcel of the vast and the Infinite.”
“Nature is the expression of our inner life, our higher life. It is from Nature that we get all good things—beauty, tranquillity, humility, simplicity and many other divine qualities. Above all, Nature is spontaneous. When we develop the mind, we become so complex; we cannot do anything spontaneously. Nature helps us to regain our spontaneity. Like this, Nature helps us in millions of ways to become good citizens of the world. That is why we must respect and adore Nature. “
