What is Knowledge : Ch-6-4.

Chapter- 6:- Being in Balance with the World-4.

However, our point here is a little different.

It is not merely medical.

It is something beyond the visible requirements of our physical personality.

There is a necessity for you to maintain a balance with the world outside even physically, if you are to have peace of mind and what is called happiness of the psychophysical organism.

You cannot quarrel with nature and be happy.

Nature is not merely your parent, but an inseparable part of your larger physical dimension.

There is practically no distance between your physical body and the world of nature outside.

The mountain may look like a distant object, the Sun and the Moon and the stars are all far away from you, and everything is physically remote from the point of view of your sensory perception – but nature does not get exhausted merely with what you see with your eyes.


Nature includes even space, and you should not be under the impression that what you call space is a non-entity, that it is just a vacuum, a kind of emptiness in which the visible gross elements are contained as if in a cup. Space, so-called, is not a cup in which the world of nature is contained.

This was the old classical view of scientists in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries.
