The fundamental principle of ideal or real yoga is symbiosis or mutualism. All life forms from smallest micro-organisms to biggest and also non living constituents of environment are inherently and intrinsically symbiotic. It is human encroachment and exploitation that is responsible for all the chaos. It is human kind that must amend and change its attitudes behaviour and life style. There are basic important ingredients, preconditions, prescriptions, efforts, processes and models necessary for mankind individually and collectively to resurrect, restore, achieve and sustain the pristine symbiotic happiness for one and all.

Equality and Oneness :
Human beings must understand and accept that all other constituents of nature animate and inanimate play their respective roles in the intricate web of the composite environment. Smallest life forms, all non living constituents are important for mutual interactions, interrelations and harmony. Nothing even an electron functions in isolation independent of its ambient environment, its myriad constituents. In Jainism even the air, earth, water and other forms generally considered non-living or inanimate, are given the status of living beings to be respected equally as human beings.
