vedantic management thoughts: TIPS TO CONSERVE WATER

एते सत्पुरुषाः परार्थ-घटकाः स्वार्थं परित्यज्य ये

सामान्याः तु परार्थमुद्यतभृताः स्वार्थाsविरोधेन ये |

तेमी मानव-राक्षसाः परहितं स्वार्थाय निघ्नन्ति ये

ये निघ्नन्ति निरर्थकम परहितं ते के न जानीमहे ||

(Those are the noblest persons, who giving up self-interest,strive for the good of others;

the common are those who serve others’ interests with no harm to their own;

those are demons (राक्षसाः/नरकासुरा:) in human body who harm others’ welfare for serving self-interest;

but we know not who they are who harm others’ welfare, for no purpose at all.)

स्थितिरुचैः अप्रदूषित प्रकाशोरजा ददाति दिने प्रदिदिने महतां महत: दिनकर: |

पातालास्थित: प्रदूषित ऊर्जा ददाति तदपि आप्तोक्तिम खननं तथोपरी शिलाद्युत्कर्षणं स्वीक्र्तम ||

Meaning of the subhashita:

The sun god gives energy day by day and for many days to this greatest of the great world (without any global warming effects). One has to know the exact and suitable location (after geographic and seismic surveys and estimated reserves) and thereafter mine and extract the fossil fuels which involves laborious tasks involving man and machines. (also consumption of fossil fuel for energy results in global warming)

COMMENTARY

=============

The sun gives enormous, nay, ginormous amount of heat,energy, light, brightness, illumination to the entire universe day in and day out without taking even a fraction of a second's leave, in a perennial and perpetual motion magnanimously to the world without any greenhouse gas emissions remaining carbon neutral. Isn't it wonderful for the world to emulate the sun and generate energy on earth like the sun's energy creation process - hydrogen - helium - deuterium - tritritium. - following an atomic cyclical perpetual fusion technology instead of atomic fission technology? Can we make sun like synthetic Tokamak on this mother Earth ? One can install solar panels and generate electricity likewise without any greenhouse gas emissions leading/resulting to global warming. Solar and are intermittent, not reliable. Whereas the energy produced by burning/combusting the fossil fuels emit carbon di-oxide in the atmosphere leading to global warming as a concomitant of the greenhouse gas emission effects. The plant kingdom uses the sun’s rays for its photosynthesis process by absorbing sun’s rays and carbon di oxide in the atmosphere and releases pure oxygen, the nature's carbon sequesteration process, thus controlling the carbon di oxide and oxygen in the atmosphere. This is nature’s way of bringing equilibrium to the global warming. (BHAGAVAT GEETA proclaims - aham vaisvanaro bhutva praninam deham ashritaha - prana apana samayuktam pachamyannam charurvidam - I, by remaining as natural vegetation on the earth, control the equilibrium of carbon-di oxide and oxygen in the atmosphere).

Hydro carbon extraction like crude oil, coal involves mining the earth. It involves geographical/hydrocarbon study and geological surveys throwing out seismic data, data mining, analysis of the data,estimation of the proven reserves, etc. Thereafter, selection of production technology and engagement / commitment of resources - men and machines,materials,moments,money, information and communication to mine the earth by digging and drilling and thereafter extracting the crude oil natural gas or coal as the case may be. Which again are required to be further processed into naphta, petrol,diesel,kerosene, ATF, and in the case of gas in has to be transported from the production site to the consumer thru pipelines for consumption by domestic/industrial consumers.

That is intelligence, which extracts energy directly from sun without the green house gas emission effects and global warming effects.

Jay ho Suryanarayana! Jay ho Aditya! Jay ho Bhaskara! Jay ho Dinakara! Jay ho Divakara! (suryanarayana, Aditya, bhaskara Dinakara, Divakara are names for the Sun in Sanskrit – and Jay in Sanskrit means victory/win/conquer).

India was, is, and continues to show to the world the imperative necessity for preventing climate change. The easiest, simplest action oriented as a people's programme has been in existence since time immemorial. The village piplantri in the state of rajasthan shows to the entire world what people should do in a very simple way.

Oct 16, 2017 also darahera village in the state of bihar, north india plants 110 trees on the birth of a girl child in a family and jubiliantly celebrate her arrival in this world.

Greta thunburg may popularise and give publicity of this simple and most effective way of carbon sequestration from the atmosphere in these days of unbridled demonisation of fossil fuel gugglers, unmindful of children like Greta Thunbeg whose future has been mortgaged irresponsibly by the irresponsible govt's, greedy and avaricious industries and plastic polluting consumers each of whom is a superior most demon of this world for mortgaging the future.

Sanskrit subhashitam on the planting, conserving, preservation, protection, promotion of trees and importance of trees for water bodies, maintenance , protection, preservation and sustenance of these water bodies, the importance of maintaining equilibrium on greenhouse gas emissions by releasing oxygen in the atmosphere and absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (i.e. the scientific jargon - carbon sequestration - the scientific term) is appended::

दश गृह समो कूपो दसकूपसमो वापी दशवापीसमो ह्रदः।

दशह्रदसमः पुत्रो दशपुत्र समो द्रुमः ॥

- मत्स्य पुराण

Meaning of the subhAShita:

The household needs of ten houses (in a village) is provided by a single well. A pond is equal to ten wells. A dansk of water (reservoir) is worth ten (such) ponds. (Then again,) ten (such) reservoirs are same as a son (offspring). (But), a tree is equal to ten (such) sons.

Commentary:

Water is an integral part of life's very existence. In fact, we have known man to send out space ships to different spacial objects, just to detect the existence of water. When such is the case, a well obviously is an invaluable asset to living beings. A well after all, is a small body of water. It fulfills the water needs of 10 households in a cluster. Without a doubt, a pond can easily be equated to ten such wells.

The water in ten ponds can be easily contained in a reservoir. But then, a son (good, cultured, educated one specially), is no match to even ten such reservoirs! Because, a child quenches the thirst of the parents, in a similar way!! But then, there is something that can even equal ten such sons!! That is none other than a 'tree'.

Why is that? How can 1 tree equal 10 sons or 100 reservoirs or 1000 ponds or 10,000 wells?!!! Well... :), here's the deal. One tree in it's life time, holds in clouds that can equal all of the above bodies of water. How about a son. How can a tree be better than him? It sure is, because, a person who plants it today will never know how many people shall benefit from that tree. In reality, the true meaning of life is said to be - to plant trees, under whose shade one does not expect to sit! The many fruit the tree bears, shall satiate the hunger of birds/animal/people. Many a rain clouds it might bring to the neighborhood and quench the thirst of the needy. When he plants the sapling, he is actually doing service to many beings without realizing. Moreover, the tree may live there for generations beyond the planter and his son and still keep serving the people, giving them water, shade and fruit.

Hence a tree is equated to so many things. Then what does felling a tree mean? It means we are, with our own bare hands, although theoretically, slaying so many sons and drying up so many water sources!

It is said that trees are the best antiques and the groves were God's first temples. Strive and save those antique temples now and always!
