Harmony in Nature
Interconnectedness, Self-regulation and Mutual Fulfillment
among the Four Orders of Nature
Introduction
So far we have explored our Natural Acceptance
Our Natural Acceptance is for living in Harmony – as an Individual, as a Family, as a
Society…
Is there provision in Nature/Existence for living in accordance with our Natural
Acceptance? Is it possible to live in harmony as an Individual, as a Family, as a
Society…?
Is co-existence, mutual fulfillment inherent in
Nature? Or
Is the design of nature/existence by way of
opposition, struggle, survival of the fittest…?
We will explore the underlying design of
Nature/Existence with these questions… 3

Present-day Problems are largely due to Lack of Understanding
Resource Depletion – The resource is used at a rate which is faster than the rate at
which it is produced in nature

Pollution – The product is such that
1. It does not return to the cycle in nature or
2. It is produced at a rate that is faster than the rate at which it can return to
the cycle in nature

Quantity of units in each order

Quantity as per overall enrichment of the whole; and availability of sustaining
resources
Dependence of each order is
on all previous orders Human

Survival of Human Order is

Harmony in Nature iz—fr esa O;oLFkk
All orders have definite conduct – except human order without right
understanding
In human being, the Body has a definite conduct
The Self (I) operating on assuming without knowing is the source of
indefiniteness, problem
The solution is to ensure
Human
knowing (understanding Order
harmony)
Human beings inherently Animal Order
have a natural acceptance
to know,
to be in harmony Bio Order
For this,
human education-

As an individual
As an organization
As a part of society

Sum Up
1. Physical – soil, metals etc.
Nature = Collection of
order – trees, plants Units
2. Bio order etc. = 4 Orders
3. Animal order – animals, birds Relationship of
mutual fulfilment
4. Human etc.
(harmony)
order – human beings
There is a relationship of mutual fulfilment (harmony) amongst these 4 orders. The first
3 orders are mutually fulfilling for each other. They are fulfilling for human being also.
It is naturally acceptable to human beings to be fulfilling for all the orders
The role of human being is to realize this mutual fulfilment – For this, all that human
beings need to do is:
1. To understand that mutual fulfilment (harmony) is inherent in nature – we do not
have to create it
2. To live accordingly – then the mutual fulfilment amongst the 4 orders will be
realised
and there is provision in nature for living with mutual fulfilment (harmony)
