Seeing God
The divine atmosphere and the cycle of life are present here. We begin by honoring the Guru Paramparā and receiving blessings. This environment is heaven; the Earth is our Mother and the water our Father. Indra brings rain for all creatures. We are born from and return to the Earth, yet humans poison her. Life is sustained by five elements. The process of creation involves these elements and the principle of jīva-jīva-bhakṣate, where life consumes life. Animals follow this nature, but humans developed further. The ultimate teaching is ahiṁsā paramo dharma: non-violence is the highest duty. We must respect all life.
"Life eats the life. The animal eats the animals."
"Ahimsa paramo dharma. Ahimsa means do not kill."
