Answer from Angela[guru]
What does nature give to man?

***
Take care of the Earth!
Take care
Lark at the blue zenith,
Butterfly on dodder leaves,
There are sun glares on the path...
Take care of young shoots
At the green festival of nature,
Sky in stars, ocean and land
And a soul that believes in immortality, -
All destinies are connected by threads.
Take care of the Earth!
Take care...
Nature is ours common Home. Nature is life. If we take care of her, she will reward us,
and if we kill, we will die ourselves.
Still here:

Answer from Mashenka Romanova[newbie]
nature is the beginning of life

Answer from Masha Lopukhina[newbie]
Man lives thanks to nature. Nature gives us everything: fresh air the wood we breathe, the wood we use to build the houses we live in. We get heat from wood and coal, which nature also gives us. Almost all of our home furniture is also made of wood. We pick mushrooms and berries in the forest, where we relax and breathe clean air.
The natural world is wonderful and mysterious. Listen to the murmur of river streams, the singing of birds, the rustling of grass, the hum of bumblebees, and you will understand this. Have you seen the sun at dawn? The sun turns into a small, but still, holiday, any ordinary and everyday day of a person. When the sun is above us, it becomes better, warmer around us and in ourselves.
Our fairy forests are amazing! And the glades are real “greenhouses of nature”! Look carefully at every new flower, every strange blade of grass, and you will be able to feel their charming power. Climbing to the top of the hill, you feel as if you are rising above the planet. Nature appears here in its clear harmony and beauty. The sun, forest, sandy shore, water, wind... bring us great joy.
The sages and dreamers of the past more than once tried to list the “wonders of the world” - miracles created by nature and created by human hands. They talked about seven miracles, searched for and found the eighth, but it seems no one ever mentioned the miracle - the only one known to us in the Universe. This miracle is our planet itself, together with the atmosphere - the container and guardian of life. And while it continues to remain the only, incomparable, riddle of the birth and history of the planet itself, the riddle of the origin of the life of the mind, the future destinies of civilization. This is a miracle of nature. Man is a part of it. Nature provides food for man. Wind and sun, forest and water give us common joy, shape our character, make it softer and more poetic. People are inextricably linked by nature with thousands of threads. Human life depends on the state of nature.
Protecting nature concerns us all. We all breathe the same air of the Earth, drink water and eat bread, the molecules of which continuously participate in the endless cycle of substances. And we ourselves are thinking particles of Nature. This places a huge responsibility for its safety on each of us, each and every one without exception. Each of us can and must contribute to the fight for the preservation of Nature, and therefore life on Earth.

Answer from Gulnas Zubairova[newbie]
she gives us everything: air and food, etc.

Option 1. Unique and indescribably beautiful nature in autumn. Despite the fact that rain and fog are quite common, there are also clear, quiet days for a walk in the nearest forest. Sit down and admire golden robe of the forest, listen to the singing of birds, watch the birds fly away. Somewhere in the distance thunder roared. Drop by drop it began to rain. Hiding under a tree, he looked around. How beautiful it is all around I like it autumn nature . The air is so fresh! I don't want to go home at all.

Option 2. Human and nature are closely related to each other. Nature creates all the conditions for human life, which is why it is so important to live in harmony with it. Beautiful landscapes of nature fill a person’s soul with delight, only this beauty is truly mesmerizing. Man's interest in nature is limitless; how many secrets and mysteries the forests and seas contain. There's a lot we don't know yet about nature. To enjoy the beauty of nature, you don’t need to travel far, just go to a park or forest. Nature is especially beautiful in the fall, when you want to sit on benches and absorb all its beauty and enjoy it. It is then that you feel how your soul is filled with new colors, how it is saturated with the beauty of the world around you. At these moments you realize how closely people are connected with nature.

– this is the entire material world of the Universe, organic and inorganic. But in everyday life, another definition is more often used, in which by nature they mean natural environment habitat, i.e. everything that was created without human intervention. Throughout their existence, people have often become the culprits of change. environment. But the role of nature in people’s lives is also colossal, and it cannot be underestimated.

Habitat

Man is a part of nature, he “grows” from it and exists in it. Definite Atmosphere pressure, earth's temperature, water with salts dissolved in it, oxygen - all this is the natural state of the planet, which is optimal for humans. It is enough to remove one of the “designer” elements, and the consequences will be disastrous. And any change in nature can cause dramatic changes in the life of all humanity. That is why the statement that nature can exist without man, but man cannot exist without it, is especially relevant.

The main source of consumer goods

Luxury goods are created by people, but we satisfy our primary needs at the expense of nature. Exactly the world gives us everything we need for existence: air, food, protection, resources. Natural resources are involved in many areas: construction, Agriculture, food industry.

We no longer live in caves, but prefer comfortable houses. Before we eat what grows on the earth, we process and cook it. We do not cover ourselves with animal skins, but make clothes from recycled fabrics natural materials. Undoubtedly, much of what the planet gives, man transforms and improves for comfortable life. Despite all its power, humanity will not be able to develop outside of nature and without the base that it provides us. Even in space, beyond the Earth, people have to use recycled natural goods.

- This is a huge hospital that can cure various ailments. Numerous plant-based medical supplies And cosmetical tools. Often, resources are used in almost their original form to improve health, for example in herbal medicine, hydrotherapy and mud therapy.

Human dependence on natural conditions

For many years, under the influence of climate, topography, and resources, customs, activities, aesthetic views and the character of the population of a particular country were formed. We can safely say that the role of nature underlies many social processes. Even a person's appearance depends on the region from which his ancestors came.

The health of many people depends on weather conditions. Well-being and emotional condition may vary depending on the phases of the moon, sun activity, magnetic storms and other phenomena. The level of air pollution, its humidity, temperature, oxygen concentration - all this can also affect a person’s well-being. For example, city residents, after relaxing by the river, note an improvement in their physical and psychological condition.

Cities with over a million people, modern cars, Newest technologies– looking at all this, it seems that man has learned to successfully exist outside of nature. In fact, humanity still depends on conditions that it cannot change. For example, on quantity and condition natural resources Its economy depends on the territory of the state. Weather determine the features of buildings settlement and living conditions. Such diversity national cuisines arose as a result climatic features regions, as well as flora and fauna.

Aesthetic and scientific significance

Nature acts as a source of a wide variety of information that helps build relationships with the outside world. Thanks to the data that the planet stores, we can know who inhabited the Earth thousands and millions of years ago. Today we can, if not prevent natural disasters, then at least protect yourself from them. And man has even learned to direct some phenomena to his advantage. and human learning. The child is introduced to the world around him, taught to protect, preserve and ennoble it. Without this, no educational process is possible.

One cannot ignore the importance of nature in cultural life. We contemplate, admire, enjoy. It is a source of inspiration for writers, artists and musicians. This is what artists have sung and will continue to sang in their creations. Many are sure that the beauty and harmony of nature even has a healing effect on the body. Although the spiritual component is not the first necessity for the life of the population, it plays a vital role in the life of society.

We have forgotten what stones, plants, and animals continue to remember. We have forgotten how to be - how to be calm, to be ourselves, how to be where life flows - Here and Now.

As soon as you direct your attention to something natural, to something that began to exist without human intervention, you enter a state of connection with Being, in which all nature exists. Directing your attention to a stone, tree or animal does not mean thinking about it at all - simply perceiving it, holding it within your awareness.

Then something of his essence enters into you. You begin to feel how calm it is, and when you feel this, the same calm arises within you. You feel how deeply its roots go into the Existence - it is in complete agreement with what it is and where it is. Understanding this, you also come to a place within yourself where there is deep peace.

When walking or relaxing in nature, honor this kingdom by being completely present in it. Stay calm. Look. Listen. See how complete each Living being, every plant. Unlike people, they never split into two. They don't live through their mental self-image, so they don't need to defend or inflate it. They don't even care about it at all. This is what a deer is. This is the pale yellow daffodil.

In nature, everything exists not only in complete unity with itself, everything exists in complete unity with everything else. No one isolates himself from the integral structure, claiming a separate existence like “I” and the rest of the universe.

Contemplation of nature can free you from this “I”, the main creator of troubles.

Bring your awareness to the subtle sounds of nature - the rustling of leaves in the wind, the falling of raindrops, the buzzing of insects, the first bird trill at dawn. Give yourself completely to listening. Behind the sounds there is something much more - a holiness that cannot be comprehended by thought.

If you perceive nature only through the mind, through thoughts, through thinking, then you cannot feel its liveliness, its vitality and givenness. You see only the form and are not aware of the life inside this form - and this is a holy sacrament. Thought reduces nature to the level of a commodity, an object of consumption. She uses it in pursuit of profit or for the purpose of gaining knowledge, or for some other utilitarian purpose. An ancient forest becomes lumber, a bird becomes a scientific program, a mountain becomes an object to be bored with adits or conquered.

When you perceive and become aware of nature, let there be intervals without thoughts, without reason. When you approach nature in this way, it will respond to you and participate in the evolution of both human and planetary consciousness.

Houseplants in your home - have you ever really looked at them? Did you allow such a friend and at the same time mysterious creature, which we call a plant, teach you its secrets? Have you noticed how deeply calm it is? What field of silence is it surrounded by? The moment you become aware of the emanation of calm and peace emanating from this plant, it becomes your teacher.

Observe any animal, flower or tree and see how it abides in Existence. It is itself. It has incredible dignity, innocence and holiness. But in order for you to see this, you need to go far beyond your mental habit of naming and labeling. The moment you look beyond the mental labels, you feel an ineffable dimension of nature that cannot be comprehended through thinking or sense perception. This is harmony, the holiness of which is lowered and permeated not only by all nature as a whole, but which also exists within you.

The air you breathe is nature, as is the process of breathing itself.

Bring your attention to your breathing and realize that you are not doing it. This is the breath of nature. If you had to remember to breathe, you would soon die, and if you tried to stop your breathing, nature would win.

By becoming aware of your breath and keeping your attention on it, you reconnect with nature in the most intimate and powerful way. This action is healing and deeply inspiring. It causes a shift in your consciousness from the conceptual world of thoughts to the inner realm of unconditional consciousness.

You need nature as a teacher to help you reunite with Being. But not only does nature need you, it needs you too.

You are not separate from nature. We are all part of the One Life, manifesting itself in countless forms throughout the universe, forms that are all closely intertwined and completely interconnected. When you understand this holiness, beauty, unimaginable silence and dignity in which a flower or tree exists, then you add something to both the flower and the tree. Through your understanding, your awareness, nature also comes to know itself. She comes to know her own beauty and holiness - through you!

Nature exists in a pristine and pure calm that preceded the appearance of thought. And the tree, and the flower, and the bird, and the stone are not aware of their own beauty and holiness. When people become quiet, they go beyond thought. In the silence behind thought, another dimension is added - the dimension of knowledge and awareness.

Nature can bring you peace and tranquility. This is her gift to you. When you perceive nature and connect with it in this field of silence, then your awareness begins to permeate this field. This is your gift to nature.
