Unknown is important to us so is the unsaid. if you go to this site srigranth.org and look for KudrAt (=Nature, type in Devnagri ) you will find 78 references and, without a miss it's translated in English as "Your Creative Potency" , not as nature. So is Zoka, mistranslated as Nature and then western concept of Nature applied to it. -- Dalvir.
Profound, Dalvir.
Let me mull over this for a day or two

  Dalvir Gill O Dear, it's already in you [ just buried under the "Colonial Discourse" our country ( Japan As well ) had to have ] it's what you are made of.
  Like Buddha said, "It's hard to Unlearn than it's to learn." all we need to do is go back to our roots.
  "Follows zoka, Returns to zoka." Zoka is Hukum ( His Will ). Brhma-Vishnu-Shiva in one. when people say Hindus believe in many gods, it irks me to bits. No there is only One God, he has many ways to manifest Himself/Herself.
  I've always begged to my Punjabi Brothers/Sisters/Friends in Haiku that you have the background of Tantra, Buddhism, All the traits of Advaita, GuruBani, you can understand it better than anyone.
  Don Baird knows perfectly well that westerns are at fault understanding haiku and he has the practical understanding of the eastern way of life but his schooling comes into way when explaining what he feels.
  long time ago i begged Rosie to join hands with me as i feet that we could contribute. Reading/writing haiku is an equivalent to meditation. all that matters is to achieve that 'meditative state of mind' and haiku can do that, anything can be a device why not haiku?
  when the first edition of Paul Reps' "Zen Flesh Zen Bones" was published he also had "Vigyaan BharavA TantrA" as pre-zen writings, a 4,000 year old Granth. later it was taken out. This Granth may not help to understand Zen but we can certainly understand.
  if Peipei Qiu can go back to Zhuangzi then why just stop there, we can go back to Budha or Even BharavA, Shiva.
