Follow the Laws of Nature

We are the products of Nature; Nature is mother to us. Hence, we should always strive to be in harmonywith Nature. We should strictly follow the laws of Nature, for going against the laws of Nature is fraught withtroubles which man cannot cope with. Nature is not only a mother, but also a teacher to us all. English Romanticpoet William Wordsworth uttered the universal truth : “One impulse from vernal wood may teach you more ofman than all the sages can.” In the solitude of Nature Wordsworth found the much craved for bliss. EarlierWilliam Shakespeare found ‘sermons in stones’, and ‘good in everything’ of Nature. We should conserve natureand respect all life including animals, plants, the insects world and the rivers and mountains. We should alsozealously conserve our wildlife. All this is needed to maintain the ecological balance of Nature. The presentgravity of droughts and floods is due to the systematic destruction of plant life. We are suffering all the agonieswhich the environment is giving us due precisely to the fact that we have ignored or disobeyed the laws ofNature. One important law of Nature is : to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It applies in thecase of man. If man works hard, he will get the reward. Success comes only to those who try, work and perspire.Those who are lazy, slothful and inactive have nothing but failure in store for them. Thus, from every angleNature is important to us; its laws must be abided by, otherwise we will have to face troubles galore.

The sensible engineer constructsa new channel for the water to flowthrough, and constructs bridge overthe river. If he did not do so, thebridge would never be completedagainst the force of the current of theriver. The American philosopher poetEmerson has rightly said, “Nature isconquered by obedience, and thedivine is found in a unity of justiceand love.”

Obviously, those who do notobey the laws of Nature must suffer.When it is cold, nature demands thatwe should try to keep warm in what-ever ways we can, and so on. Such isthe way in which physical Natureteaches the inviolability of law. Man,following his own untrained will,strives to follow it, be a fence ofphysical law around him or not. Hedashes himself against the iron wallwhich he cannot break, and the painof the bruising, the anguish of themutilation, teaches him that law isinviolable, and unchangeable, that itmust be obeyed or the disobedientwill perish in the struggle.

There is equal and oppositereaction to every action, is a veryimportant law of Nature, whichNewton divulged and propounded.So we cannot escape the results of ourown actions and creep into unearnedhappiness of favourable results bysome door of vicarious atonementwhere we have not laboured, andwhere we have not wrought. The lawof Nature is that each man must walkon his feet, that each man must growby his own effort. Those who try tolive by proxy or depend on the efforts

of others must suffer for disobeyingthe law. To get help from others, onemust also help himself. For truth doesnot need invertebrate people savedby the goodness of another. Unlesswe fulfil the requirements of laws ofNature, no other horizon can openbefore our eyes. Great teacher ofRussian origin Madam H.P. Blavatskywrites in her famous book Voice ofthe Silence—“Help nature and workon with her, and nature will regardthee as one of her creators and makeobedience. As she would open widebefore the portals of her secret cham-bers lay before thy gaze the treasureshidden in the very depths of her purevirgin bosom.” The implication ofthese words is the call to the scientificand technological world of today, tobe a co-worker with Nature andnot aspire to become a conqueror ofnature. This dire need of the moderntimes was given expression by one ofthe great scientists of today, JulianHuxley. Even at the risk of digres-sion, we must tell you what he said,“We must switch more and more ofscientific efforts from the explorationof outer space to that of inner space,the realm of our own minds. Allbranches of science and learning canjoin in this great venture of explora-tion.” Remember Nature has no veilin her kingdom for him who tries towork with her.
