-- *Mar*Thank you again for your thoughtful and profound essay. Below is an *edited version* of your original work, maintaining your ideas and poetic tone while improving *clarity, flow, grammar, and structure*. I've made only light changes to preserve your unique voice and message. ------------------------------ 🌿 *Free Nature vs. Captive Nature*
*By YM Sarma (Edited for clarity and flow)* In totally free and healthy nature, every organism experiences continuous discoveries, revelations, and enlightenments—without the need for questions. In fact, questions cannot even be conceptualized. Total concentration in rapture creates a kind of Heaven, where answers flow effortlessly as revelations. These revelations give rise to a larger identity—what we might call a *macro identity*—in every organism. Life naturally becomes collegial. Education does not require training; it flows on its own. The environment teaches through experience. In such free nature, the mind becomes blank—not from ignorance, but from the enchantment of total attention. Even today, if you quietly observe an area thick with grasses, plants, trees, and diverse flora and fauna, you will find that experience takes over. There is no room for questions—only immersion. By contrast, universities depend on *captive nature*. In the wild, free nature, no university can operate with its structure of questions, answers, and debates. When an idea arises in free nature, the answer follows naturally. But in the modern university system, no question is fully answered, and no answer is complete. Each answer only creates more questions, and this cycle goes on endlessly. Captive nature produces a kind of sickness: the restlessness of “questions → answers → more questions.” As a result, we sit apart from nature, becoming spectators rather than participants. We fret over problems and theories, instead of *being a limb of nature*. We become scientists—severed limbs studying what we were once a part of. Look at a three-month-old baby sleeping. Sometimes, you’ll see it smiling in its sleep. Why? Because it is re-experiencing life in the macrocosm of the mother’s womb. Free nature is a kind of vast womb—constantly enlightening, without questions or even the need to conceive of questions. Today, we struggle to accept the idea of *freedom for nature*. In fact, we feel afraid of truly free nature—because in that freedom, we cannot perform economics, science, or inflict technology. At its core, modern progress is about *disabling nature* in order to replace it with machines. So, the fundamental question each person must ask is this: Are you a part of nature—part of this living Earth—or are you merely an observer of nature, detached, with no emotional bond, enabling your pursuit of science, economics, and industrial life? Next, ask: Do you want to live in a state of discovery, revelation, and rapture? Or do you want to live through restless questioning, as you destroy nature and lose the silent flow of answers that need no questions? If you accept that you are a *limb of nature*, then nature becomes divine. Air, water, land, sky, and space—all become expressions of God. Every activity of nature becomes an experience of Theism, where God grants and answers continuously. Free nature and Theism go together. There is no space for Atheism in truly free nature. On the other hand, *modern economics and Atheism go together*. They arise from disconnection. Every university must have a *Free Nature Park*—completely free of human tampering—so that students may experience the flow of answers without the burden of questions. ------------------------------ If you'd like a *printable or formatted version* of this edited essay (e.g. PDF or Word document), I can prepare that for you as well.
