On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Mata Amritanandamayi urges humanity to express gratitude towards nature, akin to the villagers who felt deep gratitude towards Lord Krishna during a storm. She encourages us to symbolically tie threads of love around every flower, tree, and rock as a gesture of appreciation for nature's protection and care. The river, used as an example, represents selflessness and compassion, qualities we should emulate in our actions towards nature. Nature's selfless service without expectation of return is another lesson to be learned, emphasizing the importance of minimizing harm to nature. The story of Sakuntala illustrates the reciprocal love between humans and nature, highlighting the need for humanity to rediscover its love for nature before it leads to our own destruction. By learning from nature's lessons of love, compassion, and selfless giving, we can work together to preserve the planet's beauty and ensure its survival for future generations.
