Conquer Nature Quotes

“It is a great mistake to say ”Conquer it,” for we can never conquer nature; we can only harmonize with it.”
― Gyomay M. Kubose, Everyday Suchness: Buddhist Essays on Everyday Living

“We have been taught that life is a fight and a struggle. We have been taught that life is an enemy. We have been taught that we have to conquer life, we have to conquer existence, but the part cannot conquer the whole.
The part can only dissolve into the whole. One cannot win against the whole, one can only win with the whole. If the part is in conflict with the whole, the part will always fail.
Friendship means to be a friend to existence. Friendship means to not be in conflict with existence. Friendship means to be in a love affair with existence.
Friendship means to be in a deep love affair with the trees, the birds, the animals, the people, the rocks, the rivers and the mountains. Friendship is the highest state of love.
Let friendship become your path to friendship with all unconditionally.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace
