There is not a single living being on this earth that detests nature, for everything originates from its abundant blessings. The melodious chirping of birds fills our hearts with joy, and our knowledge is kindled by the radiance of the sunrise. These experiences are a testament to our profound connection with nature. Our survival is intrinsically intertwined with it. All that we possess today is a gracious gift from nature, as divinity exists in every facet of its existence. By immersing ourselves in the serene atmosphere and embracing the beauty of nature, we can attain divinity. Thus, nature serves as a glorious conduit for spiritual enlightenment in every aspect of our earthly existence. Our hearts should overflow with divine purity to realize this transcendence.”
