Spirituality equals ecology and vice versa. Ecology and spirituality are each other's spit image, and all forms of existence originate from spirituality.
The bulk of ideals of environmental protection focuses on the symptoms instead of the root cause - which to us means we need to resort to spiritual ecology that necessitates a different mindset...
If the world remains humankind-centric, man will inevitably do as pleased and that is not right. Instead of allowing man the stage center spot, giving it to the world of sentient beings makes an appropriate and necessary change.
Increasingly and year-on-year, the Earth's environment deteriorates and not much time is left for fundamental changes to be achieved. Catastrophes follow one another, until the whole world crumbles and falls apart.
Ecology is a diversified symbiosis and an inter-reliant equilibrium. It is not a purpose-built mechanism, and its diversity is natural. If there were no plants, trees, or other forms of substance, there would be no ecology to speak of.
