Inner climate changes
A spiritual discourse on the connection between environmental crisis and inner transformation.
"We must correct a term: what they call 'greenhouse gases' is a very wrong term... It should not be called greenhouse gases, but glasshouse gases."
"The hot climate is within the human; the hot climate is within human thoughts; everything is created by the mental pollution of humans."
Swami Vishwananda offers a satsang, arguing that the true climate crisis is an internal one of mental pollution and adharma (unrighteousness). He explains that sustainable development must begin within the individual, critiques modern materialism, and describes how inner turmoil—like family breakdown or grief—constitutes a destructive "inner climate change." The talk explores the concepts of Nimitta (periodic) and Nitya (constant) divine incarnations, suggesting saints provide necessary "spiritual injections," and concludes with a call for personal change.
