Environmentalism

(Mother to Mona Sarkar:) “You know, flowers spread a deep love and a peaceful sweetness in a silent and generous gesture. It is without comparison. It is this movement of Nature which brings an equilibrium in a world torn by sorrow and pain. It is a movement in the other direction in relation to man – it expresses an invariable harmony on the physical plane. It is this which counters the other movement and brings an equilibrium and gives a meaning to existence; the one gives, gives and gives and the other one takes, takes, takes and leaves nothing for the others. Man is so ego-centric and small in comparison. And the worst is that man is never satisfied with what he receives from others.
         The sense of gratitude is lacking in him. He thinks that as he is higher on the evolutionary ladder, he has a right to everything. It is absurd!
         It is because Nature gives herself spontaneously and cancels this contrary movement that the earth is still inhabitable.”
