on the 27th of april 2020, i created and started this blog.., with this first post.
to my mind it is two and a half centuries, almost three that you need to go back to - from newton, the 1700s onwards, when scientific temper and enquiries started, is when this momentum set in, which turned from science to technology to products and services, that ravished nature relentlessly to produce and consume and dispose them..... that to my mind is the true "great acceleration"...
It is a mere empirical observation, undeniable because of the stark evidence in front of us - of the nature’s balance torn leading to extreme climates and unbreathable air and mountains of squalor outside each city and all that you know.
there is no need for any efforts in this, in its original intent and design. That is the beauty of it. Just open the mind and be free of prejudice. Rest will happen by itself. It is like what is happening to the nature right now, thanks to corona. When mankind just stops mucking it, it just ‘returns’ to its pristine original state. It is the same with us too. Consider all these, including this conversation, as that divine arrangement. Yes. God is a Principle - thatvam - an universal schema. That is the magnificence of it. Nature is a self-sustaining and self governing mega system. Everything in it belongs, everything abides. Human being is the gene out of the bottle, wreaking havoc to that inviolate Principle, and now that system is setting it right, putting mankind back where it belongs. So to be spiritual is to see the breathtaking beauty of this symmetry, balance and harmony, and live in consonance. Where the heart rules guided by universal Love. This is all I am saying.
