Every human body, and indeed every living being, is a living symbiosis. Inside us, billions of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, and viruses—maintain our health and balance. They are integral parts of us, working harmoniously to sustain life. This invisible world within us is a reflection of the deep interconnectedness of all life.
If we reflect on this, we can begin to understand that we are part of a much larger symbiosis—a profound relationship with the Earth. Just as we rely on the balance of our internal symbiosis, Earth depends on countless organisms, ecosystems, and natural forces to maintain its equilibrium. When these systems are disturbed, our own balance is compromised, much like when harmful bacteria overtake beneficial ones within our bodies.
When we destroy the elements that maintain the health of our planet, we disrupt the balance that sustains us. We become weak, vulnerable, and potentially sick—just as the Earth does. Our survival is intertwined with the health of the planet. To harm the Earth is to harm ourselves.
Thus, we recognize that living in symbiosis with the Earth is not just a spiritual calling; it is an essential aspect of our survival. By embracing the harmony between humanity and nature, we honor the interconnectedness of all life, ensuring a future where both the Earth and we can thrive in balance.
