"On this planet we do not have
something we can call Nature any more. We have lost it. We do not have
Nature we can go back to. What we must do is search for Nature. But
human knowledge cannot do it. We can only ask Nature. So we, and
especially seed companies in the world, should collect all kinds of
seeds on the planet, and offer them to God, Nature and pray. This kind
of attitude toward Nature is necessary. Of course, even if we pray, God
will not say anything. We may not be inspired, either. But the plants
which start growing are God's answer. Nature will teach you."
