WITH NATURE
It will reveal itself to you
Please understand: anything outside your boundary, whether it is nature, air, fire, water or earth, you start relating with, as if it is your enemy. We talk in the language of 'conquering nature'. If you understand you are something more than this body, you will never think or talk in the language of conquering nature. In the East, always the great Masters say, 'Falling in tune with nature, not conquering nature.' There is a great book called Yoga Sutras - Yoga Aphorisms - the source book of yoga. The author of that book says, 'By meditating on nature, nature reveals itself and gives powers; it gives the energies to understand it.' It gives you new energies, new experiences, new powers. He says by meditating on planet Earth, you understand all the secrets of planet Earth. You receive messages from planet Earth.
The other day I was reading an article about some tribal people who are living in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. They received the message about a tsunami 3 hours ahead and they all moved towards a hilly region. Not a single person died in that tsunami attack. Even army people died. People with so much modern equipment, so many gadgets, even they died. But these tribal people, hours ahead of the tsunami, they received that vibration, they could gather the message and move away from the ocean.
One big problem is people such as these are not able to teach the technology to others. It's not that they don't want to, it's because from the beginning, their lifestyle is designed in such a way that they are able to relate in a very friendly way with nature. If we also start changing our lifestyle, we can also start falling in tune with nature.
