Pollution as a provocative progress argument
I would like to tell you about God Rama’s bedroom. Pure white sheets were put on his bed, powder of chamfer was sprinkled all over so that there would be no mosquito and insects who could bite. He heated his body and coated it with the paste of sandal so he was feeling good. That means they did not discover even a mosquito net, there was no fan, no mosquito repellent, no air-conditioning, no electricity – nothing. And Lord Rama never ever tasted even a single cup of tea in his life. In a way every man today is living much more luxuriously than all the previous people put together. There was no scooter, no bike, no car – nothing, because there was no pollution. And it is a very great thing that you observe and comprehend it. Today we are much-much more advanced. And I think the humanity will continue to advance – more and more. I think this is very good time, it’s our good luck that we were born in this time. That’s why it is a progress and Hanuman is Brahma on the post of creator.
Some time ago, when there was less pollution, people were unable to make new jokes. Every person was repeating old ones. Now as the pollution is increasing, the ability to create new jokes is also increasing. And it is a sign of a very intelligent mind – only an intelligent mind can create a joke.
Petrol is the essence of Mother Earth. That’s why we love its smell. We cannot call it exactly blood, but some essence of Earth is there. It is from Earth – so we love it. Though I hear that Japanese have made a car which runs on water. Let us see what will happen now.
