Harmony in Nature

TEACHER: Let us go on to the next point. Consider the precision, harmony, and complexity by which nature works. A glance at the universe around us tells us that it is the most harmonious and smoothly-operating piece of clockwork or machinework perceivable by man. This wonderful precision and order within nature indicates the existence of natural creative principles which extend far outside the domain of present-day scientific understanding. Witness the rotation of the planets or the completion of the lunar cycle, for example. Man has constructed satellites and, mimicking the orbitary tracks of the planets, has floated them in space. Despite the efforts of hundreds and thousands of scientifically-oriented brains who have taken part in these projects, however, it is acknowledged that all such satellites will eventually fall out of orbit and be destroyed. Even though the space projects which have been attempted or achieved by modern scientists are actually faulty in comparison to the workings of the universe, they have been achieved only through controlled effort and planning and never by accident. The construction of any harmoniously operating unit necessitates the existence behind that unit of a harmonizer, i.e., a controller responsible for such harmony.
The wondrous harmony perceivable in every facet of the moving universe (from the smoothly functioning cooperation going on within the tiniest living cell all the way up to the gigantic precision, visible within the workings of the overall universe itself) points conclusively to a harmonizer.
An Organized Universe
Harmony is possible only as a result of organization. There is no such thing as disorganized harmony. Even the harmony perceivable in the melodic arrangement of a simple song is possible only as a result of organization. Someone wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and then organized the musicians to play the song, telling each musician when and where to play his instrument. The music did not just fall into place by accident or of its own accord, but it was organized. So harmony is a result of organization, and organization of any sort always points to the existence of an organizer.
A person who tries to be a goswami is careful not to engage in those activities that are harmful to his spiritual development. For example, he refrains from taking intoxicants (including all sorts of drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and so on); from having illicit sex; from gambling; and from eating meat, fish, and eggs.Harmony in Nature
