Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 God made everything perfect City life with it noise, pollution, crime and poverty could be seen as the result of man's denial of Gods perfectly balanced paradise in the country. By Gods various potencies many wonderful phenomena occur, such as a spider weaving a web, a humming bird flying back wards or a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. His artistic ability can be seen in the form of beautiful birds, like the parrot, peacock or flamingo. Also, He has many practical energies at work. Trees breathe fresh air into the world, freely give fruit, shade and shelter. They even give their own bodies for fuel. Rains nourish the soil and provide clean water to drink. The sun gives heat and ripens fruits while at night the moon's cooling rays give flavour to the vegetables. The cow is sacred and very dear to Krsna. In India she is respected like a mother. From just eating grass and water, she peacefully produces milk, giving us cream, butter, ghee, cheese and yoghurt. Using these ingredients, we can prepare delicious meals without harming animals. The Vedas, like other holy books, advise us to look after the resources of nature. They recommend ahimsa (non-violence) and warn us of the consequences of wastage, pollution and cutting down forests. The Earth belongs to God and can provide abundantly for everyone. Mahatma Gandhi once said, " There is enough for everyone's need, but not for their greed. " As humans, therefore, we can enjoy nature's gifts, given for our health and happiness. Cows give their milk, bees give their honey and maybe one day soon we won't rely on money. Self-sufficiency will become our reality. Sai Ram Shakuntla Vishani Hare Krishna Ref:B:Dhirasanta dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
