We Have to Follow
the Laws of Nature

What we can achieve through the patience and peace, we cannot achieve by violence. What we can achieve gradually, we cannot achieve at one fell swoop.

Success is to live in accordance with the system of nature as laid down by God. This is the secret of life, whether it concerns the life of the individual or the state or society at large.

The world in which we find ourselves was not created by us. Nor were we consulted about its creation by God. This world has been built on certain immutable principles, is governed by these principles, the world will go on functioning in the same way.

This means that in this world our position is secondary, and we have to coordinate unilaterally with the system of nature. If we do not adjust to it, it is we who shall be the losers and not the world.

A farmer has a good yield from his farm when he fully cooperates with the nature’s law of agriculture. Similarly, an engineer is able to perform any technical feat when he fully conforms to the laws of nature regarding physics and chemistry. Exactly the same is true of the human world. The human world has to abide by the fixed laws of nature. Here, success is destined only for those individuals or nations who conform to these principles which have been laid down in advance by nature. No person has the power to ignore the laws of nature when he sets himself to building a successful life in this world for himself. In the map of nature what we can achieve by hard work, we cannot achieve by making concessions. What we can achieve by patience, we cannot achieve by hasty actions. What we can achieve through the power of peace, we cannot achieve by violence. What we can achieve gradually, we cannot achieve at one fell swoop.
