    Nature

    To preserve or not to preserve. Why not let nature take its course? Why must we intervene on its behalf as if our intentions are selfless and are for the cause and nothing but the cause. Stewards we are by trust, trust not between man and man but between man and the object perceived. Preserve that trust and it wouldn't matter if the world were to go to the dogs. Trust me.
    If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.
    --Shakespeare

    Indeed we are stewards. Everything is entrusted to us. We should not break with the laws of nature and indeed it is a consignment.

    We should preserve or conserve natural assets. We must bequeath them to posterity

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
