Pollution Solution

Today we are living in world which is becoming increasingly polluted. We are gradually turning our entire earth planet into a toxic waste site. Even though so many people are talking about cleaning up the environment, no one is able to do anything to effectively turn the tide of the times towards a cleaner global atmosphere. The forces of greed forge ahead impelling us for the sake of quick material profit to continue polluting our atmosphere more and more and more until it becomes too late.

But there is a solution to the pollution. This solution requires that we understand the root cause of the pollution. The root cause is that our environment is heavily polluted on the subtle plane, the plane of consciousness. The phenomena we experience on the gross plane are the result of what is there on the subtle plane. Whatever is there on the subtle plane will naturally also be manifested on the gross plane. The subtle pollution is our selfish, greedy desire to lord it over this world as if we were its masters and owners.

So the pollution solution begins with understanding that Krishna or God is the proprietor of everything. In fact, Krishna directly states this in the Bhagavad-gita, that He is the owner and enjoyer of everything. If we clean up our consciousness by understanding, thinking, speaking, and acting in harmony with the principle of Krishna's proprietorship, the external atmosphere of planet earth will naturally, gradually become very clean and nice. Air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, social pollution, etc will be relegated into the history books. The entire earth will be transformed into a paradise. May that day come soon!

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Room for Hope?

I have one important question. How to defy our destiny? Am I really falling short of my expectations or am I falling short of Krishna's expectations?

Your servant,

Vishal

Answer: Unlimited Room for Hope

There are two entirely different destinies awaiting you. And you have full freedom to make your choice. One is on the spiritual plane and the other is on the material plane. Your destiny on the material plane is to experience birth, death, old age, and disease repeatedly for an unlimited number of births through 8,400,000 different species. And your destiny on the spiritual plane is to live in full freedom an eternal, ever-youthful, all-blissful, all-existence, in the wondrous divine atmosphere of the spiritual sky.

So which destiny do you prefer? You have to make your choice.

If you prefer to remain within the confining chains of karma, you do this by dedicating your life to the principle of material sense gratification both for yourself and for those with whom you associate.

And if you prefer the unfettered freedom of eternal spiritual existence you must take training in the self-realization science from a bona fide spiritual master. Krishna would like you to return to His abode for eternally rendering Him loving service. But He does not force Himself upon you. Know for certain that whichever pathway you choose to follow will take you to your particular destination, either the repetition of birth and death or the supreme bliss of pure Krishna consciousness. Now which one will it be for you?
