Amma bluntly points out that humankind’s relationship with Nature is at a precipice. “Due to mankind’s selfishness and indiscriminate actions, Nature has become out of balance,” Amma writes. “The situation is serious. We need to become as alert as if we were standing at gunpoint. Only then can we survive.”
Amma finds cause for hope in reflecting on earlier generations’ very different relationship with Nature, and in practical steps we can all take in our daily lives to make a positive impact. Above all, Amma stresses our interconnectedness, and the responsibility each of us has to care for our planet and only home: “We are not individual islands but links of a common chain. We cannot be like the person sitting on the 10th floor who hears shouting that the ground floor is on fire and says, 'It’s only the ground floor. Let the people down there deal with it.' We should realize that the fire will soon spread and our floor will also be engulfed in flames. To ignore this reality is to dig our own grave.”
