Human body is made up of five elements –
Panchtattva – Air, Water, Soil, Fire and Space (Akash). The purity of these
elements speaks of the purity of human beings. Unfortunately the extent of
impurity in these elements barring Fire to some extent is rising day by day.
Air quality is deteriorating as indicated by Air Quality Index (AQI) of
different cities, and in some cities like Delhi it is crossing its extreme
making life hell for people there. Hence what was considered as important for
living / breathing is now becoming lethal for mankind. Water is becoming toxic
day by day making it undrinkable and unusable for daily uses of mankind. The
Yamuna river water is an example before us which is full of toxic foam floating
all along the surface bed of this river. Soil is turning into another toxic
element because of use of fertilizers, chemicals, insecticides and so on and
hence growing infertility reducing its production capacity. Space is being
filled with space debris which is gradually becoming a global concern. It is
fire alone of these five elements which seems to be spared to some extent by
the human greed and hence remaining unpolluted as of now.
Everyday morning we wake up to find out
what is the AQI for today. The human life is therefore getting indexed to this
AQI. There is no self-restrain towards saving the humanity from this tyranny of
natural resources. We have to awake.
