reason for the environmental pollution

[Guest guest]

Q.187) The drastic effects of environmental pollution

and the shocking effects of natural calamities must be

avoided to save the humanity on this earth. What

measures should be taken? (from Nikhil, Flourida, USA)

 

Ans.) The application of discoveries of scientist for

the welfare of humanity resulted in the environmental

pollution. The discoveries were successful but the

application has not ended in the welfare, but harmed

the humanity. It is like saying that the operation was

successful but the patient died. The essential reason

for such failure is absence of faith and devotion in

God. God wants to punish the people through natural

calamities and pollution. Scientists cannot control

His programme. Therefore, mere social service without

the element of spirituality fails. Even if it

succeeds, it is only temporary. The service slowly

ends in injury. Such a person who serves without

touching God also goes to heaven and he will be thrown

out of the heaven after some time. It is only

temporary happiness, which results finally in mysery

only. If you associate the propagation of divine

knowledge and devotion in such a social service, it

gives permanent best results. The punishment of God is

only for a change. Your propagation brings that

change. Therefore, God withdraws punishment. Mere

social service without spiritual mission is like

giving mere boarding and lodging to the hostel

students without teaching in the classes. In such case

the students get spoiled and finally you have harmed

them. The nature of the punishment reveals the nature

of the action of that sinner. The above punishments

show either slow or sudden killing of human beings.

Therefore, the nature of the deed, that is responsible

for such punishment must be also killing. All the

living beings are souls like your soul. You have taken

the birth of the plants, birds and animals as a

punishment, which infact is spiritual training only. A

selfish soul is born as a plant and goes on donating

its fruits, which were the hidden treasures in the

previous birth. By killing the plant you are

interfering with such spiritual training. The mind of

the God is irritated and that leads to the above

effects. Thus a green plant should not be cut. A paddy

plant is cut when it dies by becoming yellow due to

the loss of Chlorophyle. It is equal to cutting the

dead body. That is not equal to cutting a living bird

or an animal. This is the reason for the propagation

of non-voilence by human incarnations like Bhuddha and

Mahavir Jain. You can refer to the various arguments

given by Me, to various questions on this same topic.

There is no other alternative than this. Prayers to

God cannot stop these things. The propagation of

non-voilence (Ahimsa) is the only way. Atleast let it

be reduced and slowly let it be completely avoided.

The Hindu scriptures (Dharma Sastras) attempt in this

line. They ask the fisherman to stop catching the fish

at least in Banaras and atleast on Maha Sivarathri.

When that is achieved, the scriptures mention some

more sacred places and some more festival days. Slowly

they control the whole sin by finally saying not to

catch the fish on any day at any place.
