We really did not demand logical reasons or selfish reasons to love trees for 5000 years. We simply loved trees and consider them God, our reason for existence. Every other उत्सव of the month on this land, revered trees. Today, it is वटसावित्री व्रत.
If you are living under toxic arrogance influence of being rational education and modern, wait for some time. You too will embrace so called new fad called “Forest Therapy” or “Tree-hug-Therapy”. It won’t work best if your purpose is selfish i.e. health. Let health be side effect! Just love mother nature as a loving child!
But you know, what is missing in fad? And what overpowers fad? भाव is missing and selfish pursuit is overpowering. Mother nature acts like a magician, only if you have भाव and approaching her selflessly, for her worship!
