Man does not live alone, but is a part of larger cosmic design and as such has to engage in beneficial interaction with nature. Our scriptures highlight a cosmic chain connecting humanity with higher beings or macro forces of nature and the lesser creatures that in their own way facilitate comfortable existence of man. Our gratitude is expressed in the form of rituals towards divine manifestations and our care and assurance of protection is expressed towards the lower creatures in the form of offering food etc. This notion of reciprocal nourishment is the substratum of all rituals. (Idea taken from the lucid explanation of rituals by Paramahamsa Yogananda).
