"Once upon a time man lived in close connection with nature and was therefore able to penetrate its secrets. He would, for instance, come to a spring and stay there a long while. He would look at it as it flowed, alive, clear and fresh, and he would listen to its murmuring. And in doing so he slowly found a connection with the soul of the water, the soul of the spring. He did the same with fire, the sky, the earth and trees: he watched them and listened to them. People today, with the (so-called) progression of civilization, have lost this relationship with nature, which is a great shame because in having reached this state, they are depriving themselves of all the life that circulates in the universe and speaks to them.
Try to become aware and listen attentively to the language of nature. Even if you feel you understand nothing; that is of no importance, the important thing is to open yourself up, because then you will be making ready the subtle centres that will one day bring you into contact with universal life."
"The evolution of a human being is measured by his ability to surrender with humility to the laws of nature, which are divine laws. He recognises the superiority of the beings which have established these laws, he lives in harmony with them, and he carries out their will.
The evolution of a human being is also measured by his awareness of others and his efforts to influence them in a positive way. From such a person we may expect only the best and the most beautiful. Even though he may not be able to manifest himself as a poet or a musician, he is already on the path to poetry and music, because he is attuned to the laws of harmony and is linked to the divine world. As for those who do not care if they create chaos, it can be said that they are still very low on the ladder of evolution. Yes, an anarchist is not an evolved being. An evolved human being, an intelligent person, is always careful to respect an order that surpasses himself."
"We must give something in exchange for all the riches and beauty nature gives us in abundance. You are surprised it isn't free? Well, it is free, but you too have to give something for free! How? By deciding to make use of all the faculties you possess so that you walk consciously on the path of light and sacrifice. Then you will be put to work in service to the divine, and God will repay you by giving you intelligence, kindness, beauty and so on. This is the ‘currency’ you can use to ‘pay’ for everything you take from nature.
Those who are not recruited on the heavenly staff receive nothing, so they are destitute and have no money to pay for what they take. They eat, drink, breathe, walk around and go about their business, but sooner or later the creditors, the forces of nature, come to strip them of their possessions: whether they like it or not, they must pay."
"Most people conduct themselves with astonishing thoughtlessness. Indifferent to the examples before their eyes, they learn no lessons from them and continue to behave as if their acts entail no consequences, now or in the future. They transgress the laws of nature and upset the work of the elements, without realising that by their anarchic attitudes they provoke forces which will eventually react in order to re-establish order. Nature is not an indifferent, lifeless, or unfeeling matter which we have the right to treat as we like; it is alive, intelligent, and sensitive. Of course, it is also very patient, but each time human beings go beyond the limits of what it can bear, it retaliates."
"You are free, yes… you are free as long as you do not transgress the laws of nature. For nature is implacable and inflexible: you can cry, shout and threaten, it will not change its laws for you, and if you transgress them you will suffer. It’s up to you to accept these laws, to be in accordance with nature. You will say that nature is cruel… No, it wants to see its sons and daughters well and happy. But if they are stupid, then it’s nature’s task to make them more mature, and for that it needs to give them a few shocks from time to time. And if they refuse to understand quickly, these shocks can be terrible.
Nature has no wish to destroy humans, no, it has worked too hard to give them life and sustain the life in them to then decide to massacre them. But it wishes to educate them. That’s why, as long as humans behave like disrespectful, undisciplined, disobedient children, they will receive lessons."
"If human beings were prepared to study how the universe was created, the regions of which it is made up, the creatures that inhabit these regions and the laws that govern them, they would understand they are living inside the body of nature, a living, breathing body, and they must act in harmony with this great Whole. Be careful, therefore, because all those who accept a philosophy of anarchy without seeing the dangers that bestrew the road they are embarking upon, will meet with destruction sooner or later. Indeed, people who, by their anarchic behaviour, are hell-bent on causing trouble are flushed out, eliminated by nature; nature purges them away. Anarchists are never allowed to stay for long, and if they are not eliminated by fellow human beings, nature herself takes charge because she tolerates no disharmony. She looks upon it as a tumour, a cancer that has invaded her body and she sets about curing the disease by expelling all these undesirables."
