Transcript

00:00You cannot worship something with a view to obtain favours from it.

00:08That's exploitation. That's consumption.

00:10Those who worship Prakriti and then consume it are like those who worship the goat and then slaughter it and eat it.

00:18Does that not happen?

00:19There are people who will pattern it for an entire month and say, you know, this is like our own son and then slaughter and eat it.

00:26Is that worship?

00:27Does that carry any feeling of respect?

00:29Is there any sacredness in all this?

00:31Sacredness, the touchstone is, you will not consume.

00:35You will not look at the other as means to fulfil your desire.

00:38That's the attitude you must have towards Prakriti.

00:42And that attitude itself is called worship.
