Description

Acharya Prashant explains that climate change is a direct consequence of the internal state of the human soul and mind. He argues that traditional awareness campaigns often fail because people are preoccupied with their personal desires, ambitions, and fears. Instead of urging people to heal the climate directly, he proposes teaching them to heal their own lives and consciences. He asserts that when individuals address their internal hollowness and lack of contentment, the climate will be automatically taken care of as a secondary effect. He describes the current economic and social system as a predator that feeds on human sickness and vulnerability, rather than a doctor that heals it.
