Chapter 54 delves into the profound connection between humanity and nature, exploring the consequences of our actions on the environment. It underscores the idea that harming nature is, in essence, self-inflicted harm, urging us to rethink our relationship with the natural world.
Education
People are divided racially, religiously, politically, economically, and this division is fragmentation
- It is bringing about great chaos in the world-wars, world-controversies, deception politically, and so on.
- The responsibility of the educator is to bring about a good human being who has a feeling of global relationship, who is not nationalistic, regional, separate, or religiously clinging to the old dead traditions.
What is nature?
Nature is not put together by thought, as religion is, as belief is.
- We grew out of the seed, the earth, and we are part of all that, but we are rapidly losing the sense that we are animals like the others. We have lost all sense of relationship in which there is not only a verbal statement of affection and concern but also this sense of communion which is not verbal.
Communion with the world
It is far more important to have communion with other human beings who suffer, struggle and have great pain and the sorrow of poverty-and also with the people who go by in a rich car.
- If the educator is concerned with this, he is helping the student to become sensitive to other people’s sorrows, struggles, anxieties and worries, and the rows that one has in the family.
