9. Ways … All must become aware not to degrade nature because we directly or indirectly may be harming it in the process of migration, employment, development activities, industrial activities, trade, tourism, etc. All human beings should remember that the mother earth (nature) is common home to all living and non living being/things. We all are dependent on nature. If nature is healthy, we remain wealthy. Everyone should be guided by ethical values in their activities. For instance, we human beings regard the whole world as one family of God. Our guests are like our gods. If so, god never spoils its own creation and family members always support each other at the cost of their lives. Religion should be defined as a way of developing empathy for everyone’s betterment rather than its narrow orthodoxy (a belief that is accepted as true or correct) Lesson: 3.7 (2nd Period) 2076/02/16 9

The youth of our day seems to be growing more and more conscious of the worth of the vision and conception implied in the question posed by a novelist in a book widely read and recently put on the moving-picture screen. “Have you any credit at the bank with God? When you pray for something your heart desires, has your deposit at God’s bank been exhausted or overdrawn?” Lesson: 3.7 (2nd Period) 2076/02/16 10
