Inner climate changes
The true climate change is within human consciousness. The term "greenhouse gases" is incorrect; it should be "glasshouse gases." The solution is not political but individual, found within the human heart. Mental pollution creates the inner heat. Sustainable development must begin within the human phenomenon. This planet is a living, holy place where souls from the universe come for retreat. The Upaniṣads declare the whole planet as one family in harmony. Dharma is the life of all creatures, and adharma is distraction and greed. In Kali Yuga, adharma spreads, making humans inwardly blind. Changing one's path, thoughts, or behavior creates an inner climate change that causes suffering. The nimitta incarnation comes to destroy adharma and reestablish dharma. The nitya avatāra are the moving saints who give spiritual injections. Without these, humans would show their most dangerous nature. Inner imbalance mirrors external climatic disorder, leading to unhappiness and new diseases. Change must begin with one's own way of life and thinking.
"Whenever the adharma takes over and dharma is suffering, I come to destroy the adharma and establish the dharma."
"O mind, you lost everything with the company of the kuṣaṅgī."
