Sansar Vs Nature.

Sansar Vs. Nature

What is the role of nature in spirituality?

Nature is a beautiful thing.

Nature can uplift you to rise higher to connect with the higher existence.

Why is it that?

In your daily life, chances are, you will walk on the same concrete roads for years and years, maybe your whole life.

You will see identical houses and buildings every day – nothing much new.

But a walk in the woods is a different story.

Every day you go, you will find something new.

A new insect, a new fungus on a tree, a new flower, a new butterfly, new leaves, etc.

There is always something happening in nature.

Everything contributes towards our total experience of being in the woods.

Everyone works all the time to make a daily living in the woods.

Birds have their daily schedule, making a nest, finding food, etc

Trees are continuously doing something, even if we don’t see it.

Leaf buds have been ready to pop out in spring to manifest hidden leaves, which it has prepared over winter.

This READINESS and constantly WORKING is synchronizing with CONSCIOUSNESS.

That’s why nature is constantly changing.

Mind is not used much by inhabitants of the woods, as they don’t have more than a basic mind.

You can perceive the change in the woods every time you go; change is God.

Who brings those changes?

The consciousness.

Natural forces control woods, but man’s desires control Sansar.

Everything in the woods is in its natural state – trees, birds, sky, air, earth, etc.

On the other hand, Sansar is full of people who have lost their nature for a long time and are carrying complicated minds and erratic, unpredictable behaviors.

To deal with them, you also become forced to become equally complex and crooked.

Try a silent hike, and you will see the difference.

You are surrounded by the simplicity and innocence of plants and animals in nature.

This helps you realize what we have lost as human beings in a so-called civilized society.

While in nature, nature can get into you and eventually takes you in its lap and transform you.

In Sansar, everyone is out destroying nature.

You take a different path, spend time in nature and let it destroy YOU, and you will leave this world with a great treasure in your hands.

That’s why Mahavir and Buddha chose to go into the woods.

Once they got enlightened, they returned to Sansar.

Staying in Sansar also, you can get enlightened, but the experience of the woods will always be unique.

You don’t have to do what Mahavir and Buddha did, but spending time in nature ( solo hikes ) will always supersede your daily life in Sansar.

Many people go into the woods and come out empty-handed.

You need a grasping power to connect with consciousness even in the woods.

When done regularly, meditation will increase your grasping power, the power to connect with nature.
