Observation and Learning from Nature:
We are in the midst of a worldwide Yog revolution. For many, it is about health and well-being but that is only a portal that leads to the understanding of the self and its relationship with the body. Although the roots of Yoga lie in the Vedas, most read Patanjali’s Yog-sutra for a systematic exposition of the nature of the mind. The text is logical and it questions the naive understanding of the world. According to it, there is a single reality and the multiplicity we see in it is a consequence of the projections of our different minds. Therefore to obtain knowledge one must experience reality in its most directness.

SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
The Vedic texts claim to be Atmavidya, “know real I ” or “consciousness science” and they also provide a framework to decode its narrative, establishing its central concern with consciousness. In the Vedic view, the reality is unitary at the deepest level since otherwise there would be chaos. Since language is linear, whereas the unfolding of the universe takes place in a multitude of dimensions, language is limited in its ability to describe reality. Because of this limitation, reality can only be experienced and never described fully. All descriptions of the universe lead to logical paradoxes.
People used nature as a way to find inspiration and establish spiritual connections. The interdependence of all life and the notion that the individual (atman) and the universe (Brahman) are one are central themes in many Bhartiya philosophies. Agriculture: In an agrarian society, existence depends on an awareness of the environment. For the community’s sustenance, Gurukuls imparted agricultural skills, such as crop production and the science of seasons. Observation and Learning from Nature: Natural phenomena were frequently employed as metaphors and symbols in the teaching of a variety of subjects. It was thought that one of the best ways to teach wisdom was by studying nature
Spirituality is beyond science
