Nature As a Mentor in Life, Work and Love
1) Nature is a practical way to live and love.
It does not consist in a certain set of beliefs or mere words.
Religion does not imply wandering to shrines and tombs, or following austerities of Yogis.
Sikhism is a way of life, something to be lived according to a pattern.
Its main virtue is simplicity.
2) Nature is a universal awareness not bound by borders, culture or politics.
3) Nature calms violence, ritualism and formalism.
4) Nature does not enjoin blind faith.
Blind obedience to an external authority is seen as early consciousness, a phase of childhood.
5) Nature is a witnessing, rather than a belief system.
A witnessing of reality and a celebration of it with hope and cheer.
Though it affirms Karma, (cause and effect) it recognises the possibility of the modification of one's Karma (change cause - change effect).
It does not lead to despair and defeatism.
6) Nature is both yin and yang.
The Laws of Nature embrace both the need for free will and human emotional decisions and yet, balance this with the irrefutable final reality, that a universal law can never be overridden by even the strongest will of emotion or ego.
This conflict is seen as the essential nature of all evolution.
7) The role of the teacher in Nature's Law is to ask the student to step back away from their will, their emotion and their beliefs in order to simply witness the potential collision or collusion between what they think and what is universal law.
I invite you to enter a book shop either in person or on-line and peruse the range of topics covered in self heal, relationship and life mastery.
Witness the following realisation: a.
those who can't do teach or write books about it.
So, there's a 99% probability that what you read, and learn about life is beautiful idealism that only causes you myths that your life cannot achieve.
Hence, a grave danger of ongoing disappointment and depression.
b.
notice the underlying theme of all self help and relationship books is that peace, harmony and love (meaning good feelings) is better than it's opposite.
Such an unquestioned paradigm shows that the vast majority of people think that they think, but don't.
A universal truism that support and challenge are balanced in any life and in truth, the more one seeks to avoid challenge, the more of it they attract.
c.
notice that novels of fiction fill the shelves and leave the book shop on a frequency of about 10 to 1 book non fiction.
Walk to the non fiction self-help and observe the people searching for self-help, and note that the result of reading about self help relationship or life change has not changed the reader at all.
