In English
The earth has always been worshipped by the ancients of as Mother Earth, since it is the earth that, in some form or the other, provides food and sustains life. Most gratefully the ancients said: "O Mother Earth, I am able to have food on account of your kindness." Without the earth, we cannot have grain, and that is why earth was given so much respect and was accorded the position of a mother. However, scientists regard worship of the elements as superstitious behaviour, and those who worship thus to be fools. Those who worship the elements are not fools but those who criticise are. These critics have no idea of the inner significance of such reverence. Modern scientists are concerned only with the material and inanimate aspects of nature, being completely ignorant about the principle of reflection, reaction, and resound. If you strike the table, your hand feels hurt. Why?
