Krishnaturti's Journal...
If you lose touch with nature you lose touch with humanity.
If there's no relationship with nature then you become a killer;
then you kill baby seals, whales, dolphins, and man, either for gain, for "sport", or for food, or for knowledge.
Then nature is frightened of you, withdrawing its beauty.
You may take long walks in the woods or camp in lovely places, but you are a killer, and so lose their friendship.
You are probably not related to anything, to your wife or your husband;
you are much too busy, gaining and losing, with your own private thought, pleasures and pains.
You live in your own dark isolation, and the escape from it is further darkness.
Your interest is a short survival, mindless, easygoing or violent.
And thousands die of hunger or are butchered because of your irresponsibility.
You leave the ordering of the world to the lying, corrupt politicians, to the intellectuals, to the experts.
Because you have no integrity, you build a society that's immoral, dishonest, a society based on utter selfishness.
And then you escape from all this for which you alone are responsible, to the beaches, to the woods or carry a gun for sport.
You may know all this, but knowledge does not bring about transformation in you.
When you have this sense of the whole, you will be related to the universe.
4 April 1975
