A part of Universal Joy

The one who loves all intensely begins perceiving in all living beings a part of himself. He becomes a lover of all, A part and parcel of the Universal Joy. He flows with the stream of happiness, and is enriched by each soul. –Yajur Veda (Source)

What is good about having a pet?

Love is our true nature and caring for animals and plants is proof to that effect. By nurturing our pets and plants we understand that life is important and precious.

Hence, when we are capable of being so loving to plants and animals too why do we resort to violence and destruction of nature. Why do we allow our negative qualities to over power good ones? Why do we love some and hate the other?

Being humans we understand that the ecosystem of this planet is interdependent on each other. Trees purify our air so that we may have clean air to purify our blood through the lungs. So in this sense it may be thought of an extension of our respiratory process. Same is with the digestive system, as plants and animals provide the food necessary for our survival. So is it right to destroy a part of our self in the garb of development and prosperity?

Just as we would go to any extent to protect our pets let’s start protecting our environment too. If not for our selves atleast for the future generations. Let them know what is fresh air, how fishes look and see that the sky is blue, as at the rate we are headed the day is not far away where we need respirators on a daily basis, all lifeforms may be extinct and the sky may forever be smoggy.

Let’s love all living beings and become a part of the universal joy
