While scientific knowledge has provided powerful tools to understand these challenges, it alone has not been sufficient to transform human behavior or reshape our values toward nature. At such a crossroads, the integration of scientific insight with moral and spiritual frameworks becomes essential. This paper explores the profound resonance between scientific ecology and the spiritual teachings of Gurbani—the sacred scripture of Sikhism—in addressing the pressing concerns of sustainability. It proposes a holistic model of spiritual ecology where rational understanding and sacred wisdom work in unison. The study emphasizes that Gurbani, far from being restricted to ritual and religious life, offers a compelling ecological ethic that aligns with contemporary sustainability science. The paper also explores how this integration can inspire a more compassionate and conscious relationship with the environment, contributing to long-term planetary wellbeing.
