00:00I have heard you saying once that there would have been a great consciousness which would have addressed Ganga as Maa or worshipped a tree.
00:08Can we take these Vedic gods with a special meaning, a higher meaning today?
00:12The higher meaning is desirelessness.
00:14You cannot worship something with a view to obtain favours from it.
00:19That's exploitation, that's consumption, that's worship only in name.
00:22The real kind of nature worship that we talk of let's say in Durga Sapshati, that's different.
00:27That's where the relationship is not of Bhog.
00:30But when you go to Prakriti asking favours, like you go to a cow and saying can you give me milk?
00:35No, that's not worship, please.
00:37Real worship is when you do not use any dairy product and yet you have respect for the cow, that's worship.
00:43You have respect for the cow because you will be getting Ghee and Rudha and Lassi and then you will also sell it off to the butcher.
00:51Is that worship? Does that carry any feeling of respect? Is there any sacredness in all this?
00:56The sacredness, the touchstone is, you will not consume.
01:00You will not look at the other as means to fulfil your desire.
01:04The consumption of Prakriti and worship of Prakriti do not go together.
