Water boils at 100 degrees, not at 99 degrees. If you throw a ball in the air, it will surely fall to the ground. If you water a flower and give it sunlight, it will grow.

The whole universe is governed by natural laws. The subatomic world, called the microcosmos, and the intergalactic and interuniversal cosmic structure, called the macrocosmos, are also governed by the same laws of nature. The nucleus and the orbiting electrons and protons in the atom, and the suns and planets in the galaxies have the same functioning and system.

Since we are made of atoms, we are subject to the same natural laws. There are hundreds of natural laws that run our bodies. If an electron deviates from its orbit, if a cell does not fulfill its function, thousands of disorders and irregularities, diseases and disabilities can occur. I recently read in a science magazine that the earth completes its rotation around the sun one second later and this is one of the biggest causes of global warming. If the earth's temperature increases even by 1 degree, it would cause major disasters and changes... Just 1 degree...

All plants and animals unconsciously obey the laws of nature. Those who do not obey them perish. We, as human beings who claim to be intelligent, have to act intelligently and live by obeying the laws of nature and following the divine system. This is one of the conditions for our survival, for living in peace and for the success of all our actions... There are famous sayings: "You can't swim against the current", "don't spit against the wind", which describe the laws of nature very well. By letting yourself go with the current, you can go where you want to go without any effort...

Living in harmony with natural law is not by self-coercion or by knowing natural law. A doctor tells his patients to stop smoking, but he himself cannot stop. A dietician gives a diet list to her clients, but she cannot follow it.

Living in harmony with natural law must be spontaneous, and this can only happen through awareness and presence. With the awareness of being present, of being in the 'now', in the 'moment'.

Why do people break the laws of nature? According to Maharishi, education is responsible: "No system of education in the world can produce individuals who can live in spontaneous harmony with natural law. This deficiency in education is the cause of problems in all areas of life."

When we examine problems carefully, you will find that all problems in life are caused by the breaking of natural law. It is the breaking of natural law that creates stress. Stress in the life of the individual causes suffering and distress, and the accumulation of stress in all individuals in society is the root cause of crime, violence, conflict and war. On the other hand, a life lived in harmony with natural law is the basis for a healthy, prosperous (inner wealth) and fulfilled life for the individual, and is the basis for peace and progress in the world."

Today the whole middle east is in turmoil and seems to be heading for very bad times. The turmoil and pain of the past, the fear of the future, is and will be causing crazy stress outbursts of the masses. There will be no peace until we let the earth and nature go with the flow. The earth is enough for all of us. There was enough land, grain and water for all of us, if we didn't always want more for the future...

Again Maharishi said, "For the forest to be green, every tree must be green. The individual is the basic unit of world peace. For there to be peace in the world, every human being must be a pacifist," he said in the 1950s.

If only each of us could start with ourselves first, and after making peace with ourselves, with the stickiness of glue, spread peace all over the world!!!....

Too utopian?...

There is a very beautiful story about it... I don't think it is utopian...

Four candles were lined up side by side, burning quietly. The first one said: "My name is faith, almost everyone has left me, there is no need for me to stay lit." It goes out as soon as he finishes speaking.

The second one then says: "My name is love. People have abandoned me and do not appreciate me. They have forgotten to love even those closest to them." As soon as he said that, he went out.

The third one started to speak: "I am peace. No one wants me to stay lit and no one makes any effort anymore. I believe I will go out too." It goes out before the end of the sentence...

A child rushes into the room, sees the three extinguished candles and starts crying. "Why aren't you burning? You should be burning!"

The fourth candle turns to the child and says: "Don't be afraid, I am still burning, we can relight the other candles... My name is HOPE..."

With sparkling eyes, the child takes the candle of hope and relights the other candles...
