DOUBT AND DISTRUST
Ymji We are hectically and neurotically digging up the grave of the
Biosphere, and are trying to hoodwink the macro suicide as great scientific
and economic advancement. We are actually accepting the poisoning of nature
in all its facets as progress. We disown Ecology.It is for the Universities
to revive Ecology in Education and thus initiate the cure for the disease
inflicted by us on nature.
KR: Krishna asks Arjuna to get cleared the doubt about the knowledge
given till now or otherwise his mind may become restless and a person with
no knowledge and doubtful thoughts will lose the chance of getting
knowledge and morever of losing moksha. He neither gets any benefits in
this world nor further world. How doubts arise?
One becomes doubtful due to lack of knowledge. Shri Arjuna was also
doubtful. Therefore, Lord Krishna advises to become knowledgeable:
Bg. 4.42
तस्मादज्ञानसम्भूतं हृत्स्थं ज्ञानासिनात्मनः ।
छित्त्वैनं संशयं योगमातिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ भारत ॥ ४२ ॥
tasmād ajñāna-sambhūtaṁ
hṛt-sthaṁ jñānāsinātmanaḥ
chittvainaṁ saṁśayaṁ yogam
ātiṣṭhottiṣṭha bhārata
Therefore, the doubts which have arisen in your heart out of ignorance
should be slashed by the weapon of knowledge. Armed with yoga, O Bhārata,
stand and fight.
But ignorant and faithless persons who doubt the revealed scriptures do not
attain God consciousness; they fall down. For the doubting soul there is
happiness neither in this world nor in the next. (BG 4.40)
How to become free from doubt?
Lord Krishna: Now hear, O son of Pritha, how by practicing yoga in full
consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full,
free from doubt. (BG 7.1)
Bg. 7.1
श्रीभगवानुवाच
मय्यासक्तमना: पार्थ योगं युञ्जन्मदाश्रय: ।
असंशयं समग्रं मां यथा ज्ञास्यसि तच्छृणु ॥ १ ॥
śrī-bhagavān uvāca
mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha
yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ
asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ
yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu
“This can be achieved when one is not hesitant and when he understands the
transcendental philosophy. Slowly but surely, he becomes free from
bewilderment. Nothing should be accepted blindly; everything should be
accepted with care and with caution.”
In that case, all doubts and disrust, may not dig the earth
unscientifically; science does not fo any harm; a knife shall protect’ a
knife cuts the vegetables without altering its taste; a knife performs a
surgery to rectify a patient; but when someone uses it to kill sombody, WHY
DO YOU BLAME THE KNIFE?

> smells, sounds, and hormonal responses, triggering symbiotic and
> coordinated actions between life forms. This interconnectedness is
> portrayed as a kind of "Macro Hormonal Bonding," which is likened to
> "Theism" — a belief system that flows through nature, connecting all living
> beings.
>
>
>
> ### 2. **The Influence of Climate on Theism**
>
> - The passage suggests that the "Theism" or belief systems of different
> regions are shaped by their climate. Different climatic conditions—such as
> equatorial, tropical, monsoon, and desert—generate distinct belief systems,
> each of which syncs human biology with the rhythms of the local Biosphere.
> This "Belief Dynamics" is presented as an emotional and hormonal connection
> to nature, which has been undermined in modern times.
>
>
>
> ### 3. **Descartes and the Rise of Doubt**
>
> - The critique turns to René Descartes, who is accused of glorifying
> doubt and severing the emotional connection between humans and nature.
> Descartes' famous dictum *Cogito, ergo sum* ("I think, therefore I am") is
> seen as a way of emphasizing rational thought over emotional or sensory
> connection with the natural world. By reducing the world to mechanical
> laws, Descartes is portrayed as leading humanity into a state of emotional
> disconnect, where nature is understood only in terms of cold, abstract
> logic rather than as a living, feeling entity with which we interact
> symbiotically.
>
>
>
> ### 4. **The Consequences of Mechanization and Industrialization**
>
> - The passage criticizes industrialization, urbanization, and
> mechanization as forces that have ruptured the harmonious relationship
> humans once had with nature. Modern society’s emphasis on economic growth,
> technological advancement, and the exploitation of nature is depicted as a
> denial of the intrinsic ecological and emotional connections that exist
> between all life forms. The author argues that in this mechanized world,
> human life has become isolated from the larger ecosystem.
>
>
>
> ### 5. **The Call to Revive Ecology and Restore Natural Communication**
>
> - The author argues that the solution to this disconnection lies in
> reviving a deeper ecological understanding. The call to action is for
> universities to lead this revival by promoting "Ecology in Education," and
> fostering environments where people can experience the natural world in a
> way that reconnects them to the living, emotional flow of the Biosphere.
> One specific suggestion is the creation of "Free Nature Parks"—places
> untouched by human interference, where individuals can reconnect with
> nature and experience it as a "limb of the Biosphere."
>
>
>
> ### 6. **Nature's Role in Human Perception and Understanding**
>
> - The central theme of the passage is the idea that our biology,
> perception, and understanding are meant to be attuned to nature. This
> connection, or "Theism," is a vital part of our emotional and physical
> well-being. The mechanization of thought and the destruction of the natural
> environment have led to a distortion of our perception, which has negative
> consequences not only for the environment but for human life itself.

> ### Interpretation and Significance:
>
> The passage is a critique of the modern worldview that prioritizes
> scientific rationality, technology, and economic growth over the
> preservation of the environment and the cultivation of an emotional,
> symbiotic relationship with nature. The author calls for a return to a more

> integrated into the natural world—not as separate or superior entities but
> as part of a greater, living system.

>
>
> This critique resonates with contemporary environmental movements that
