His Ideas and Thoughts
Idris Azad has shared many interesting ideas about life and nature. He talks about how living things on Earth are connected to it. He believes that to truly grow, living things need a kind of "anti-gravity" force. This force helps them break free from being too tied to the Earth.
He calls this idea "freedom from Earth-Rootedness." He suggests that being too close to the Earth can limit life's true potential. He also describes four main types of animal groups based on their social behavior:
- Swarms (like bees or ants moving together)
- Gangs (groups of animals, often predators)
- Droves (herds of animals, like cattle)
- Flocks (groups of birds flying together)
