And focusing on the relationships between the various components and their interactions rather than looking at the parts that make the whole.
From Parliament of the World’s Religions, November 1-7, 2018, in Toronto—
To practice eco-dharma is to understand and experience the immanence of divine presence within Earthly creation. “We have to look for the immanental, for the divine that is within us, the divine that is right here and right now,” Rita D. Sherma said in the Hinduism and Ecology Society roundtable at the Parliament. Sakti traditions and Goddess traditions within Hinduism, Indic traditions and other global religious traditions, Sherma adds, teach that divinity “unfolds itself within creation to become self-aware.” Our lack of awareness of divine presence and energy within earthly creation is a spiritual crisis which leads directly to climate crisis. If we do not experience the very sacredness of Earth in our everyday lives, then our understanding of dharma is incomplete. The rites, rituals and teachings of dharma depend on earthly and earthy sacredness. Devotion to Earth is an essential aspect of dharma.
