Why every sikh shud be environmentalist!


Recommended Posts

We humans hv cut so much forest. Our activities hv resulted in forest fires, genocide of birds and sparrows.....

We hv given INFINITE pain to birds and animals. 

Beautiful words of Pythagoras

As long as Man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.

Even Leo Tolstoy was a nature lover

One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken."

Another beautiful quote of Leo Tolstoy

"If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals

There is something more important, before we start thinking about animals.

 

ਸਭਨਾ ਮਨ ਮਾਣਿਕ ਠਾਹਣੁ ਮੂਲਿ ਮਚਾਂਗਵਾ ॥

sabhanā man mānik thāhan mūl machānhgavā .

(Man) minds/feelings of (sabhnaa) all are (maanik) gems/valuable; (tthaahan-u) hurting them is (machaa’ngvaa) not good.

ਜੇ ਤਉ ਪਿਰੀਆ ਦੀ ਸਿਕ ਹਿਆਉ ਨ ਠਾਹੇ ਕਹੀ ਦਾ ॥੧੩੦॥

jē tau pirīā dī sik hiāu n thāhē kahī dā .130.

(Jey) if (tau) you have (sik) yearning (di) of (pireeaa) the Beloved Almighty, do not (tthaahey) hurt (hiaau) heart (da) of (kahee) anyone – you will be hurting the Almighty present in all 130.

 

Bhul chuk maaf
