________________ evolving sciences. Once the existence of soul is established by scientific scrutinity the debate will end and this merging of spirituality and science will pave the way for long-sought harmony. Let there be god or no god, soul or no soul, heaven or no heaven, the mankind will enjoy happiness more heavenly than in real or imagined heaven, will live in peace and tranquibity and it will not be confined to human beings only but permeate to all living beings and there will be harmony in all other even inanimate constituents of nature if the rationalist symbiotic attitude is adopted. 5. Laws and their implementation: Initially and in succession stage till climax is reached and perfect symbiotic balance is established between all the constituents of nature, there will be transgressions and violation of principles. Adequate laws against all irrational, unscientific and harmful activities are necessary. It is also necessary that laws should be enforced in letter and spirit by deterant and exemplary punishment to wrongdoers. The crime is on increase mainly because culprits are generally not punished. This bitter pill is necessary to facilitate the march towards successive better and happier environment till climax or happiest stage is achieved. Forest based life style : It should be adopted as soon and as speedily as possible. This will be an important step to bring mankind close to nature in a very short span of time. This will steer clear the suffering humanity from vagaries of nature, the droughts, famines, hunger, water-logging, floods, epidemics and soul bangs of population explosion and spiralling consumerism. The institution of individual property which is responsible for majority of social evils of corruption, conflicts, wars etc. will also be abolished. It will replace individualism by social or community mutualism and harmonious interactions between all constituents of environment. 6. The mature forest eco-system, its climax stage is symbiotic. All constituents plants, animals, microorganisms, air, water and all are in perfect harmony. The environment both physical and social among species and also species to species is symbiotic. Each constituent develop, flourish and manifest its full potential. There are no harmful mutations and distorted behavioural patterns. Any individual and group is conditioned according to its environment. There are instances of human children brought up among animals, developing and behaving as particular animals by whom they have been brought up and it takes lot of effort to trains them as humans. Environment plays a key role in moulding individuals and groups. All vices and good deeds, good and bad emotions are also environment generated. Forest based life style will provide most congenial environment for one and all. 82
