Read ule passage given below carefully:
1. During my growing up 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 learned 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 being considerate to our
surrounding andenvironment, we are being senselessly insensitive. Overcome with greed, we are destroying
nature, the extent of which is profound that we are frequently facing natural disasters like drought, flood
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.
