You can purify your mind with love, understanding, and humbleness

A spiritual discourse on the connection between inner mental states and environmental destruction.

"The most dangerous pollution is the human mind." "You can purify this pollution through love, forgiveness, understanding, kindness, and humbleness."

The speaker explains that the abuse of nature stems from a lost spiritual connection to it, identifying the root cause as a polluted mind afflicted by desire, anger, greed, ignorance, and ego. These inner pollutions manifest as destructive forces in the outer world. The solution offered is the conscious cultivation of positive qualities like love and humility to neutralize these inner defects.

Rivers, mountains, lakes, deserts, stars, the moon, the sun, the sky, clouds, lightning, and trees all hold a very great meaning. They are a part of our life. Since we have lost this spiritual meaning toward nature, we begin to abuse and destroy it, and now we are standing here. The biggest problem throughout the world is this, and the most dangerous pollution is the human mind. The first pollution is created in the mind. When your mind is polluted, then you will pollute the outer world. When you are angry, jealous, greedy, and selfish, it means you are polluting your mind. Through your anger, greediness, and jealousy, you will pollute the outer world. Whoever is jealous is a machine of pollution. Whoever is angry is a volcano of pollution. Whoever is greedy is a flood of pollution. Whoever is angry and jealous is a hurricane of pollution. That hurricane, after a while, also destroys itself and finishes. So how can we think that in this situation our spirituality will improve? It cannot be, because it is polluted. So, kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, moha, and ahaṅkāra—these are the mental pollutions. Kāma is passion and desire. Krodha is anger. Lobha is attachment in the sense of greediness. Moha is attachment in the sense of ignorance. Mada is ego. Ahaṅkāra's krodha is anger and pride. This has polluted the human mind. Therefore, whatever you do in your life, you should think about which qualities are involved in it. You have to think about the quality of that thing. This pollution is created and will be created by this. And you can purify this pollution through love, forgiveness, understanding, kindness, and humbleness. Where there is love, there is no kāma, no passion. Where there is humbleness, there is no krodha. So you shall try to neutralize your inner qualities with positive qualities. No one can do it for you, only yourself. This cannot be done in your place; only you can do it. Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Welcome Seminar
