Nature, Religion and Science.

It has been ages i wrote a post here. I got lots of calls and mails saying to write consistently although i don't find myself worthy enough to write about these sensitive issues yet i try and people are happy to see my posts. i was busy because of lots of things and events going on. so here i thank all my dear friends and well-wishers for whom this post is dedicated.

Whenever we talk about nature what comes in our mind are blue mountains, infinite oceans, blue sky, moon, sun, stars everything what we see around us. The most beautiful sights available are natural even most destructive form of nature is also witnessed in earthquakes, floods, tsunami, cyclone etc... what we can derive is nature is a system around us which has a schedule,it is rational and based on measurement which is fixed and sometimes when it becomes a bit liberal with its discipline we face disasters. Nature is the supreme power around us what we can feels and touch.

Our next concern is Religion. we people are more committed to our religion than anything else so its a sensitive issue to talk still i assure you here i am not going to say anything against being religious and having a faith.
one thing is very sure that human was made before religion it means when earth was handed over to underdeveloped primitive age's human he thought to find a way to live life that we can see in the remnants of indus civilization and other proofs of that time. so mankind needed a way or system or discipline to carry on civilized life style that's how religion was introduced.(here religion does not refer to faith)
as soon as time passed people had their differences of thoughts and ideas so they shifted to other parts and religion was also separated.
when human faced problems from nature and his environment he found it was a chance factor which saves his life. he thought this chance factor is controlled by someone supernatural power.this is how faith derived

we can say faith or "concept of supernatural" is a kind confidence collecting activity for human being. he goes to a corner or to some god's place makes commitment and finds that some supernatural powers are supporting him . exactly he himself makes all the attempt but doubt and uncertainty are the basic features of human being. he finds it better when some one encourages him may be his teacher, friend, or philosopher when he feels no man can help him now he looks towards the supernatural concepts asks to give power, boon, wishes and fights. Most interesting thing is this unknown factor is given all the credit for one's success and failure while it is nothing but one's own feeling to collect his confidence which decides his attitude to problem and makes decision to solve it. here the secret of faith lies we compare our life to the standards set by our symbols of faith out Avatars. these are the characters which are extremely successful and value oriented human beings their values become path and are followed by many followers. it becomes religion and that particular character gives all the powers to ordinary mankind to collect his faith.

where nature is a system it has its own rules and humankind ,being a part of this system has to follow all the rules he has to wear woolen clothes in winters, has to produce babies to keep existence, has to feel mental and physical changes, we have to do everything what nature wants us to do. we are living in the harmony of nature so we can not go against it.we have to keep pace with it.
Religion is something drawn upon human perception so it may have certain contradictions with nature as nature may give us certain ways of clothing or eating which are against of nature so nature does not respect your laws its nature's system it destroys if you don't change your rules. for example nature has a rule where creature eats creature if religion does not expect you to eat meat you can stay on vegetarian but here nature itself made options for you.
what i think is all individuals today live in a different fashion, eat of their own choice , listen music or dance they follow their own lifestyle so if religion is a way of lifestyle.can we not say we all have our own religion? but here what makes us united under one umbrella is we all follow a common faith or all faiths have to follow natural rules.
All i want to say is NATURE IS THE MOST ESSENTIAL RELIGION if we don't follow it it destroys us.it is most beautiful and even most dangerous sometimes.

Science is nothing but a way to solve the mysteries of nature when we solve one problem it comes out with another. science is the another way for human to understand nature and adapt himself according to the natural discipline. Science can never contradict nature as it has its own base to seek the secrets for better life of human being.
Religion and Science has one big contradiction of existence of supernatural power .science denies it because it can not trust on unproved existence science can find some forces around the earth which control its existence. science has felt or proved the existence of such forces but supernatural concept itself means something which controls everything happening in the natural system.
what i personally feel, is when we talk about a system we can not say there is a boss who controls it all. only a part of system can control it than it has its own control as it works in a certain fashion when this routine is spoiled it charges from the human being. we think same thing from different perspective like supernatural powers of religious concept may be forces of science it might be a system. but it has nothing to do with our each and every happening as faith is our own created confidence source.
so here i conclude with a satisfying thought that nature is the biggest religion we live in its environment we have to respect its rules. faith is good as far as it encourages humans but if it contradicts nature change the rule according to super religion. science has its own way to seek and understand natural secrets and to change according to them.even if there is some supernatural power exist it has to show its impact through nature only so
WE HAVE TO RESPECT NATURE or we have to face disasters every moment as it is our primitive and instant religion and only presence of so called supernatural around us.
