Prout Study Circle: I sometimes wonder why India was considered as Vishwa Guru and why are we in such a degenerated state now. I realized Indians used to think for the whole world or universe. I felt so because of some of the mantras/prayers we hear.
Our current situation has changed and we have become more self-centered and materialistic. We have forgotten to increase our psychic pabulum.
Corona Virus has taught us a few important things.
The migration of labors mostly from the west part of India towards the east shows us how much disparity is there in the east side. People are forced to leave their families in search of jobs. Now they are migrating back leaving their dreams behind in starve of hunger and poverty.
Is there really food shortage or is it created because of our food habits and mismanagement of resources? Some examples of mismanagement of resources –using land to grow carnation instead of food first. We are growing grains, rearing animals to feed them, and finally killing them to satisfy our tongue. Many people are wasting food in marriage lavishness.
As per one of the articles in Moneycontrol, there are around 11.09 million (1.1 crore) houses are vacant. Even 1.64 lakhs low-cost houses are vacant. Still, there are many people who are not able to live in houses.
We never realized that our true nature is love and compassion for everyone be it humans, animals, or other flora and fauna. People need to understand we need to accept everyone and everything whole-heartedly as part of our family.
People will have to understand this universe is the common property of every human and animals and we need to enjoy it rationally.
