Relationships are of various nature – blood relationship, family relationship, friendly relationship and so on. The most desirable healthy relationship is the truly compatible relationship based on love, trust and understanding. Two persons understand each other. Bonding is built up after varied moments of cloud, mist and sunshine. This pure relation can exist between a man and a woman or two men or women. There is also a divine relationship between a mother and a child or a father and a child. We know the saying – blood is thicker than water. In reality, water is thicker as well considering its elements of composition.

It is not always empirically true that a blood relationship is the ultimate bond. Children grow up, forget the condition of their parents’ lives and send them to old age homes during their old age when they need their children’s care and concern most. This sequence of incidents are not rare. On the contrary, it is evident around our society days in days out. A mother or a father can not even think themselves such ill-fated as to be driven out of the house they have been living in. It was home one day with love, affection and aspiration but in the end, they become homeless. At the fag end of their lives they would desire to sit together and remind their lost days through ‘Mental Earnest Desire Screen’ recollecting the taste of sweet days. But it does not happen always everywhere. Emotionally and ethically they are supported and regarded by all existing courts of law, but no one can sort out their problem legally.

Above all courts, there is the court of Mother Earth.  There is no complainant, no defendant in her court. Only one side is there, and that is the truth. Mother Earth can hear one's own feelings. Nobody is blamed in this court. It is only to convince one with love and reasoning that it is inhumane to behave in this way with their parents in their old age. If the Earth is believed as one family then no one would be deprived as everyone is a member of a well-knit family. That relation would be an ideal one and beyond narrowness and cruelty.

Whatever happiness we get from relation is because of the Earth. We are born on the Earth which has given us the opportunities of getting so many things of good states of being. The onus of our inhuman attitude with our parents lies on the Earth ultimately along with those who have come to this world earlier. If we feel that what we have achieved is due to the fact that we are born on the Earth, then to give her due honour, we would never ever be inhumane in our lifetime.

Man has never thought in this fashion. We have failed to generate love to our closest relation, i.e. Mother Earth. We have never been taught to do so. How could we then expect to do our duties towards our parents and give them their due respect? We remain indebted to our parents. More than so we are indebted to our Mother Earth. Our belief that Mother Earth renders her helping hands to us always with love and affection, can only refrain us from ignoring our parents or misbehaving with them. Even parents may occasionally leave their children but Mother Earth can never do so.

Mother Earth never thinks of any punishment or revenge even if human beings exploit and squeeze her. Man is ungrateful by nature and to nature. Ingratitude is inherent in human beings. We gain everything material and metaphysical from the Earth without bothering to repay her a bit. But this is the generosity of her that she never leaves anyone or thinks of taking revenge on anyone.

Blood relations can turn out to be relations of greed, hatred and deprivation resulting in bloodshed and violence. But the Earth never thinks of revenge even if she is deprived or exploited. If she would think of revenge, the world would be destroyed along with its habitant human beings. Love is only the basis of relation with Mother Earth. Whenever real love is the driving force of any relation, it is much more profound than the relation of blood. That relation is always open and hearty and is never confined to any narrowness.

A man should be tied up with his closest relative - the Earth. If someone is closest to one’s heart, there should not be any expectation or calculation in the relationship. Only love is the guiding force of the relationship between them. If we realise this truth then only we will feel how to behave with our parents and parents will feel how to behave with their children as well. It is then ultimate to realise that by virtue of our birth on the same Earth we are all close to each other and we are near relatives to each other. We are the members of the Earth family. Be it rich, be it poor, people of every corner of the world would come to know that the Earth has displayed all its beauty and wealth in front of us. Sunshine, river, water or any other natural beauty and natural resources like mineral, gas, etc. are amply rendered for our consumption. These are all ours by virtue of our birth on the Earth. This realisation would refrain us from doing any harm to the Earth. It would then teach us to take care of and conserve our own nature.

This is like a leased out property that can not be sold out or transferred, it is to be returned to the real owner after a certain point of time. Mother Earth would never be inclined to take back its property. At the same time, we do not have any right to claim them as our own. In the material world sometimes relation ends up in a court on the issue of ownership of a piece of land. But the ultimate court- the court of Mother Earth has only one notice on its entrance, which
reads –

It is not blood that builds up a relation
      It is the realisation and consciousness that does it
The Only relative to stay perpetually is our Mother Earth
     The Rest will pass away one day.
