MAN IN
NATURE
It
is a matter of no little consequence to acknowledge that mankind, in company
with all other animate creatures and the whole of nature, is not “a fortuitous
concurrence of atoms.”(1) Quite the opposite in fact, for such
concurrence is governed by the immutable laws of nature; those of perfect
harmony. Were such a pristine state to obtain in our own life and in that
of all mankind, ‘twould be life lived by the golden rule. Such
not being the case, however, it is incumbent upon each one of us to reclaim the
goodness and the love lost through life’s many travails, and to share a
new-found sense of well-being with others. It but requires an awareness
of our present state, together with a sincere desire to change. We
begin our journey by refusing to allow mundane thoughts to linger in our mind,
instead replacing them with thoughts of self-love, all the while looking for
the good in others. It is a wondrously transformative experience: one
that reacquaints us with our own divine spirituality.
