Oxygen, water, and food.....think guys do we get fresh air daily? yes we do, or no we don't ? So what are we going to do about it ? We know what trees give us shade, wood and leaves flowers, fruits, bark and much more ?They purify the air, absorb carbon dioxide, right ? ? Then before rainy season starts, why does each society, start chooping branches and felling trees? One answer I can't see what my neighbour does at 6.30 or I cant wave hi to my best friend in so and so building ? Each house has school going students!! Each person knows what is good about planting trees... but when people come to chop them... just me and papa feel bad and since he is old he just chooses to keep quiet because the young boys there start screeming or arguing... There was a neighbour ...He has planted some trees, the whole society fights with him, just because he does not allow any one to touch them. Every one wants to see out of his balcony and the trees and their height are a natural hurdle so what ?Lets chop them. Once quietly... one tree, (which was going to be a future target) was struck at many places, so that it would seem that it is dangerous and it should be eventually cut down. However, many people knew it, but poor tree it was struck with an axe at so many vital places, so that one day the wounded thing, fell on a two wheeler Lo and behold !! People got a chance to point fingers and fight See!! WE SHOULD HAVE CHOPPED IT LONG BACK!!! What I wonder... are we blind to what is happening around ? Our basic need oxygen!! and purification of the sorrounding polluted air is done.. naturally by trees and we are so carelessly still chopping or cutting them and we say we are educated ???? No we are not then we are literate only are we not ?
Water...there are people who keep their sintex tank valvess open at night and after water supply resumes, when all are sound asleep buckets and buckets of clean/fresh water is heard yes heard.. flowing or gushing down the tanks for 20 minutes in many compounds and we read that there are places without clean water, provided or enough water supply or very little water or dirty water etc.. supplied etc ....Now what we do is, we close the tank at night and when we see supply is on we then open the tank, when the level rises we close it before it overflows Guys please do the same... :)
Food.... I was going to a school which was an international school. Such and other schools have very high fees and good nutritious lunch provided and fresh juices given with extra helpings generously provided/served /offered whatever ... Good! excellent! fantastic! but, but, but,......Many a time, Each child eats hardly a portion of whatever is served or given to drink... Result !!! a steel drum full of food is wasted which is three forth of the food which each child has been served with by the person in charge..When will this stop?why do we think that if I have wasted food, it is a part of my fees paid, so it is quite okay if I do so....Dear Children!!.. fasting is good.. but also taking only that amount or quantity of food, you think you require,need or can finish from your dish is better is it not ?
This was just an observation Friends... please be thankful to mother earth... She is kind and we must be kind to her inseparable friends.. Trees, flowers, water resources and try to make our sorroundings like picnic spots... by preserving them.. encouraging beds of pastures, flower beds , planting tulsi saplings, utilising empty space and developing gardens, watering plants in turns,etc. We cut all the plants and trees around to park vehicles many times whereas provision for parking and paid parking can be in the building plan initially, rather than unauthorised or unorganised parking here and there... and then felling trees to create spaceand more space...We dont think let us make a garden in whatever space we have,and we take our kids to public gardens. Why don't we create some ? Stop felling the sorrounding trees, wasting water and then going to far of places.. to look for trees and natural waterfalls etc. Take an oath... I will plant trees and protect each and every tree around me .Unless it is absolutely neccessary trees won't be cut or even chopped and we go to some state and take photos of a thousand year old tree. Poor tree... does it hit you, tease you, bite you, abuse you or even stop you when you cut it?It is silently watching and taking the pain, all the time and yet it grows again and again after every chopping round and continues its duty without any fees or taxes to still purify the air around it. I think chopping trees is violence too A tree breathes.. does it not ? and what else does it do ? Leaves absorb carbon dioxide and give away oxygen...
Well OH man !! Here is one way of being kind and acquiring punya in chaturmasa and actually all your life. Atleast refrain from causing harm to a plant, sapling or poor quiet selfless TREE :)
