Eco-spirituality is the foundation of the affinity between religion and environment. It is basically the manifestation of the spiritual connection of human beings with nature. This article explicates those ecological attributes manifested in famous Odia writer Gopinath Mohanty’s novel High Tide, Ebb Tide (2007) translated into English by Bikram K.Das. The novel depicts how nature forms an integral part of the spiritual voyage of his characters. This realization forms the foundation of eco-spirituality, fostering a deepened sense of love and significance attributed to all natural entities. It also aims to demonstrate the pivotal role of nature in shaping the spiritual essence of contemporary individuals and delves into the potential for recognizing the interconnectedness and harmonious structure of the external world beyond the confines of human ego. Against this backdrop, the paper analyses the book to illustrate how diverse human consciousness aligns with the unified principles of nature, and how the sacredness of nature can be realized in the process of self-discovery as an extension of natural unity. After employing the qualitative research paradigm and close content analysis, all the arguments put forth are substantiated by textual evidence from the selected work.
