Unfortunately today, as a consequence of scientific and technological progress, humanness has declined and man considers the world as only intended for his enjoyment. As a result, the powers of nature are being used in a manner, which poses a great threat to the world. The world has not been created for mere enjoyment. Abusing the resources of Nature and forgetting his basic human nature, man is going against the purpose of creation. Many natural catastrophes are entirely due to man’s behaviour.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wars, floods and famines and other calamities are the result of grave disorders in Nature. These disorders are traceable to man’s conduct. Man has not recognised the integral relationship between mankind and the world.

In the human body, all organs like eyes, ears mouth, etc, are integrally related to each other. Just as these organs are important for man, man is equally important for society as a limb of the social organism. Man is a part of humanity. Mankind is a part of Nature. Nature is a limb of God. Man has not recognised these inter-relationships. (BA, pp. 113-114)
