This Earth Is A Garden

Topic: The Natural World

“This earth is a garden, the Lord is its gardener, cherishing all, none neglected.”


Sikhism
Adi Granth (Mahj Ashtpadi)

Wilson, Andrew, editor. World Scripture II. Universal Peace Federation, 2011, p. 129 [Adi Granth, Mahj Ashtpadi 1, M3, p. 118].

The Sanctity Of Nature

Reverence for life begins with the recognition that human beings are but one species of living beings. All living beings are God’s sacred creations, endowed with spirit, consciousness, and intelligence. Our reverence is heightened by the recognition that the interdependent web of life is wonderfully self-sustaining and productive. We see the results of human depredation of the environment, which have damaged the original balance of nature. This section concludes with texts praising Mother Earth as the Source of life and its great Sustainer and Supporter.

–Andrew Wilson, Editor [World Scripture, A Comparative Anthology Of Sacred Texts].
