A thick smog has enveloped the Delhi since Diwali and people are experiencing worst spell of smog. Cases of respiratory diseases with elders and children are increasing day by day. There are various causes for pollution like cars or fire crackers etc and different measures are taken by the government to reduce but it seems of no use because all solutions are baseless and will create further problems.
The most basic cause of pollution in any city or nation is not something external but our polluted hearts alone and the interesting thing is that everyone is unaware of it. Polluted heart is greedy and lusty for things, it just asks for more and more without bothering for future consequences. Polluted heart doesn't feel satisfied ever, just take the example of demon hiranyaksha, he was so greedy for gold that he kept digging the earth in one side thus earth lost its balance and felt from its path, then lord came as Varaha(Boar form) to restore the earth and to kill the greedy demon who was destroying the life on earth. Similarly, we are also exploiting resources in a rapid way and creating pollutants, which are in turn troubling us.
Till the time one thinks that I am the enjoyer and proprietor of the world one will take things for granted. One will exploit the rare resources thus destroying the nature. Not being aware of the supremacy of God is basic problem of everything. Nature doesn't work independently, God is the instructor and if we interfere into it we will be the suffer. Lord came to kill demon who was creating imbalance in nature, will lord appear again to kill polluters? Lord has already appeared in the form of holy names and stored all the potencies into it, so when one chants he is not killed but his demoniac tendencies are killed.
When heart gets more and more cleansed by chanting the names of God, one realises that we are just servant of God and caretakers of his property not the proprietor so one is very careful while using His resources. When one feels this river is property of God then why will he throw sewage or pollute the water, when one feels this air is God given then he will take utmost careful before discharging poisonous gases of industries and cars into it or at least he will have some protective measures. Thus all other solutions are there but they are simply temporary and can't be as effective as becoming devotee of God. So in conclusion everything depends upon the civilised and fine thinking, feeling and willing of the people, if they become devotees of god they will have respect for everything in creation of god but if they don't they will simply act like a demon creating problems for themselves as well as for others.
