UNILATERAL CLAIMS OF HUMANI BEINGS ON EARTH

The universe is eternal.

It is the union of all and the whole.

Nobody can measure its breadth, width, and depth.

But human beings on the Earth,

unilaterally claim authority over it

on their own.

They enthusiastically measure the Earth,

with their own developed scales,

and forcibly try to demarcate it

to suit their will and design.

Human beings foolishly think and act,

as though they could encroach upon

and occupy the Earth,

as if it were created

exclusively for human beings.

They themselves claim

that humans are the only creatures,

having souls to enjoy

the fertility of the Earth.

That is why they divide and demarcate the Earth,

with boundaries and barricades.

As far as they are concerned,

all other living creatures,

from tiny grass to gigantic trees,

from flies to elephants, and so on,

are nothing on this Earth.

What unilateral discretion

and discrimination

by human beings,

against other living and growing creatures

on this Earth!

Humans…!

Your ill-conceived thoughts and doctrines

are feeble ,

and diametrically opposed

to the harmonious laws of nature.

Humans…!

This beautiful and wonderful planet Earth,

shaped by universal powers,

is not meant exclusively

for human beings alone,

but for all living and growing creatures, too.

All living beings on the Earth

are the legal heirs,

in the holy heart and court

of the universal power!
