What do you drink:
water or religion,
now decide what should come first?
People go by the rituals and customs instead of going by good or bad, this is what basic human behaviour is.
In India the above rule is more strong and rigid and
examples are superstition, child marriages, people more closer to themselves
and their families than the country, polluted rivers (e.g. Ganga, Yamuna) etc.
I have noticed there is
something known as earth day, how many people care about that, even in
India you can count those people in few hours, I always had concern about environment
and people’s impact on it, so earth day doesn’t make any difference to me.
Now, I was telling about people and how they follow others,
in India if we talk about most polluted rivers the first river that comes in
mind is Yamuna, it is hard to even call it river as at some places it has bulk
of harmful chemical foams floating and flying in air. World is worried about
extinct & endangered animal species soon we would talk about extinct
rivers.
Ganga, the holy river named after goddess Ganga known to
wash away sins “Paap” , now requires a complete makeover & cleanover, govt
says they have started cleaning programme with tonnes of money invested but
even the supreme court commented that with this proposed plan it will take 200
years to clean the waters.
To pollute a holy
river is itself a “Paap”, to kill people who are dependent on the water and the
animals living in the water is a sin. So going to the river and washing body
and naming it ‘washing sins’ is just like committing another big sin.
The government sucks as always and will always suck until a
complete change over is done to mindset of politicians, but for the pollution
of Ganga people are responsible not the politicians.
Why the people are
dependent on a river to wash away their sins, why do they intentionally commit
sins and why the hell they go to Ganga for a bath when they have showers at
their home.
Here the first two lines of post holds right, people never
think what they are doing, why they are doing & what they will actually get
out of this, they just follow others, even those people who have spent several
years to gain education, degrees, diploma etc. in different fields get involved in this crazy
polluting practice.
Now the irritating part is they wash their bodies, clothes
‘with soap & detergent’, they throw away flowers, ploythene & various
other articles in the river, and nobody stops them from doing so, I have heard
somewhere ‘shashtra’ says so,
but I don’t know
about any stupid shashtra that says “Go and wash your body & other sh!*#t in
the holy river, come on people jump in the river in lakhs together, throw away
whatever you want to, ruin the river as much as you can, do sins regularly and
come and wash here, let the river be a history but follow as the ‘shashtra’
says”.
Do you have answer to
my question “Has God himself written the shashtra?”, if yes let me see the
original first copy.
What kind of society, we are living with where people want
luxurious cars, big houses, expensive phone & clothes but they don’t have
brain with little logic. They commit sins to get these things
and then visits Kedarnath, Badrinath, Varanasi etc. to wash away their “Paap”.
When we apply our brains in daily life, in feeding families, in business, why we people are so lame in applying that when it comes to some baseless rituals practices.
Earth and Environment are required for survival, not the religion or caste.
