Lecture 19 UNDERSTANDING HARMONY IN THE NATURE
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…?

Nature = Collection of Units
Air
Water Trees
Soil
Animal body
Human Beings
Earth Sun
Moon Metals

Nature = Collection of Units = 4 Orders
All units can be categorised into 4 orders
Bio Order
Plants, Trees
Human Order
Human Being

Relationship of Mutual Fulfillment
Between Physical Order, Bio Order and Animal Order
Interconnected, Interdependent
Mutual Fulfillment
1. Cyclic
Bio Order
2. Every unit is enriched Plants, Trees
7
Relationship of Mutual Fulfillment
Physical Order, Bio Order, and Animal Order are enriching for Human Order, but Human Order
(without the right understanding) is not fulfilling any of the 4 orders
Human beings have a natural acceptance of being mutually fulfilling
Bio Order
Plants, Trees

Once human beings understand, √? √?

they can be fulfilled for all four orders Human Being

Present-day Problems are largely due to Lack of Understanding
Resource Depletion – The resource is used at a rate that 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
9
Harmony in Nature
∙ Quantity of units in each order
Physical >> Plant >> Animal >> Human
Quantity as per overall enrichment of the whole; and availability of sustaining resources
10
Harmony in Nature
All orders have definite conduct – except human order without right understanding
For this,
human education-sanskar
Is essential

Sum Up
1. Physical order – soil, metals etc.
Nature = Collection of Units
2. Bio order – trees, plants etc. = 4 Orders
3. Animal order – animals, birds etc.
Relationship of mutual
4. Human order – human beings
fulfilment (harmony)
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)

Self Reflection
Assignment for Today:
Mention any five programs each that you can make to ensure mutual fulfilment with the Nature:
▪ As an individual
▪ As an organization
▪ As a part of society
14
Self Reflection
1. What are your assumptions about nature? Is it for human enjoyment or does human being
have a role to play for harmony in nature?
2. In a typical day, how much time do you interact with physical order, bio order, animal order
and human order? What is that interaction (taking, giving, appreciating, fulfilling a
responsibility…)
3. How do you and your family contribute to / participate in maintaining the order (harmony) in
nature?
4. Can you see that units of the physical order, bio order and animal order have a definite
conduct? Can you see that if the conduct of a human being is in accordance with their natural
acceptance, then it will be definite (because the natural acceptance is definite)?

Food for Human Being – Vegetarian, Non Vegetarian, Vegan…
Feeling of Responsibility toward the Body (feeling of self-regulation)
for Nurturing the Body – Naturally Acceptable [Definite, Continuous…]
Food, Choice of Food – Expression of the Feeling [Can have variety, not definite, depends on taste…]
20% of all life produced on land every year is harvested for human purposes
By feeding grain to livestock, we lose 90% of the protein, 96% of the calories, 99% of its carbohydrates, and 100% of the fiber. Animal-based
diets are high in saturated fat, excessive protein and cholesterol, leading to heart disease and stroke (nearly 50% of all deaths in the US)
