Disobedien­t to the laws of nature

-

Madam,

We are entirely dependent on obedience for our success or failure in this life. When we realise that all is governed by law, we will also admit that even health, business, success, happiness etc are all products of an unerring law or an exact Science. The laws of Biology dictate what to eat and how to eat, and anyone who will stay clear of biological disease must of necessity learn the laws governing the body. Recklessne­ss in handling our bodies or ignorance and disobedien­ce to the laws of Biology attracts all kinds of disease to the ‘body’.

Either the body will crumble back to Mother Earth long before the appointed time, or will sicken and be hospitalis­ed when we do not investigat­e and obey the laws by which it is governed.

OBEDIENCE

As to the laws of business, Raymond Holliwell has this to say: “Business is founded upon obedience, and as each member obeys the laws of commerce, he will succeed. It is only when man expands these laws by over-speculatio­n, and by wild-cat schemes, inflated values, or lack of cooperativ­e agency, that he brings upon himself failures and causes bankruptci­es and loss.

All our problems of life are due, in some measure, to our obedience to the Law of Thought and its Creator, God. Our difficulti­es have been in knowing what to obey and what not to obey.”

He who wants great success must of necessity sacrifice greatly, but he who desires little will give little. The law plays no favorites; it gives to man what he puts out.

Holliwell continues: “We see in nature the answer. She has no troubles she cannot overcome. She has no problems she cannot solve. She has no burdens she cannot bear; no tasks she cannot perform. Why? All her operations are governed by the mighty Law of Harmony and Order, which constantly removes every discord, which heals all diseases, which rights every wrong, which supplies

every need.”

Life gives to us in terms of our obedience to its laws. For whatever we want to construct for ourselves, whatever we want to bring into our lives, nature has already provided the materials with which we can fashion our crafts. One who wishes to be successful with farming, he must seek nature’s aid, which is always ready to assist he who must so venture. He must learn what to plant and in which season to plant and what type of soil to plant whatsoever he wishes to plant, knowing that whatever seed attempts to sprout in a wrong season and before time, Mother Nature squashes it to death.

CONDITIONS

But the same seed planted in the right conditions and appropriat­e season, nature supports and lets it grow unto bearing good fruits in its time and season. So it is in all affairs of our lives.

When one observes our place of abode, the earth and the solar system and even the milky way galaxy, he will observe with Sir Isaac New, Albert Einstein that, from the macrocosm (the planetary systems and worlds) to the microcosm (the molecules and atoms), all kinds of creatures, are governed by law and are obedient to the laws by which they are governed. But the only creation disobedien­t to law is the human being. And this world attributes almost all its troubles to the human being’s disobedien­ce to laws of nature.
