Question

Read the following passage and answer the given question below it:
During my growing years, my siblings and I were taught both at home and school to worship
the photos and idols of the deities of our respective religions. When we grew a little older, we were
introduced to scriptures like the Bhagwad Gita Bible Quran, we were told that there are lot of life
lessons to be learnt from these holy books. We were then introduced to mythological stories, through
which we learnt about ethics and morality. I also learnt to be respectful towards my parents who
made my life comfortable with their love and sacrifice, and my teachers who guided me to become a
good student and responsible citizen
Much later in life, I realised that though we learn much from our respective scriptures, there is a lot
to learn from our surroundings. This realisation dawned upon me when I learnt to enquire and
explore. Everything around us - sun, moon, stars, rain, rivers, stones, rocks, birds, plants and
animals - teach us many valuable life lessons.
No wonder that besides the scriptures, in many cultures, nature is also worshipped. The message that
is transmitted is that of maintaining environment and ecological balance. People are taught to live in
harmony with nature and recognise that divinity is there every-where.
Nature is a great teacher. A river never stops flowing. If it finds an obstruction in the form of a heavy
rock, the river water fights to remove it from its path or finds an alternative path to move ahead. This
teaches us not only to be nurturing but also to be progressive in life; keeping the fighting spirit alive.
We learn a lot in nature's lap but are unwilling to comprehend it. Rather than bemg considerate to
our surrounding and environment, we are being senselessly insensitive. Overcome with greed, we are
destroying nature, the extent of which is so profound that we are frequently facing natural disasters
like droughts, floods and landslides. We refuse to accept that nature is angry with us. We forget that
if the dam of patience bursts, the result is destruction
However, it is never too late to learn, if we imbibe the life-giving and nurturing aspects of Mother
Nature, the quality of our life will improve dramatically
