Abstract	The human being is the central being, as human being is regarded as a unique creation of the creator. The behavior of human being towards his surrounding natural elements, his attitude, feelings towards them, nature’s impact on human life etc. are certain points to be analysis in our present study. This human behavior, attitude, feelings etc. become a reason to make balance or imbalance the environment. The oldest literary monument the Veda deals mainly with sacred knowledge. Upanişads are not only the last part of the Vedic literature but concerned with such knowledge through which one can be liberated from ignorance and enable to realize the ultimate truth of life. Through the entire thought of Upanişads which are revolved around the concept of highest reality, it is necessarily connected with various things around us. Since Upanişads are based on the Vedas, the Vedic people were fully associated with the nature. This nature played on important role in the Upanişads also. The Upanişadic seers also observed that nature has its own power to control itself. So, we should not destroy its originality. Five gross elements regulate the external world in the same rhythm also regulate the internal world of human body. All organs of human body are inter-related with each other. After all, our good health and peaceful mind depend upon suitable environment (natural and social). So, we should maintain a good relation with other social person and should well aware about our natural environment. The Upanişadic seers were aware about these matters and advised how to maintain the balance of the external world and internal world of human body and how to behave with other persons. To live in happily and peacefully life we should follow their advice in our day to day life.
