\nNature and the Forces of Nature <\/span>
\n<\/font> <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nature is happy to be beautiful. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nature rejoices at her beauty. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Beauty is the joyous offering of Nature. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nature has a soul which blossoms very prettily. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

All in Nature is spontaneously generous. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Abundance: Nature all at once gives to us generously and we have the joy
\nof abundance. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nature has an instinctive thirst for light. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nature knows that one day she will realise<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is man who has rendered Nature sorrowful. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Intimacy with universal Nature: this intimacy is only possible for those
\nwhose consciousness is vast and who are without preference and without
\nrepulsion. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The so-called forces of Nature are nothing but the exterior activities
\nof beings out of proportion with man by their size and by the powers which they
\nwield. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n                   (About a cyclone which struck Pondicherry<\/span> on 1 May 1966) <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

This cyclone was
\nsimply a push from the Earth-Nature to wake up some of her somnolent human children
\nto the necessity of making a progress based on Sri Aurobindo\u2019s<\/span>
\nsaying, \u201cMaterially you are nothing, spiritually you are everything.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

May 1966 <\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

                  (About a cyclone which struck Pondicherry<\/span> in November 1966) <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nature is
\ncollaborating in her own way. All is meant for the growth of a spontaneous
\nsincerity. <\/span><\/p>\n

November 1966<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 12<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

One must let things grow just as plants grow in Nature. Every too rigid
\nform or limitation we would seek to impose on them before their time, would
\nhamper their natural development and would sooner or later have to be
\ndestroyed. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Divine in Nature creates nothing final; everything is temporary and
\nat the same time as perfect as it is possible for it to be under the
\ncircumstances at the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In our way of working we must not be the slaves of Nature; all these
\nhabits of trying and changing, doing and undoing and redoing again and again,
\nwasting energy, labour<\/span>, material and money, are
\nNature\u2019s way of action, not the Divine\u2019s. The Divine Consciousness sees first the
\ntruth of a work, the best way of doing it according to the given circumstances.
\nAnd when She acts it is final; She never comes back to what is done, She goes
\nforward, using failure as well as success for a new progress, one more step
\ntowards the goal. <\/span><\/p>\n

In order to progress Nature destroys, while the Divine Consciousness
\nstimulates growth and finally transforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

If you do not feel your responsibility and if you are not always alert and
\npainstaking, then Nature will play mischief with you. If you want to stop the
\nmischief of Nature, you have to do your work with exactness and a sense of
\nresponsibility. You must not leave anything undone. You must always be careful
\nand alert and you will be safe.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
