Mother Earth, 10 Billion Children to Feed
By 2050, the Earth's
population is estimated to be about 10 billion. Would we be able to feed
ourselves?
Apart
from spiritual reasons, conservationists have done some practical calculations
and have come up with a very compelling reason why mankind simply cannot afford
to eat meat, which is now so popular in most countries. Believe it or not, it
has all to do with land and water.
Food = Land +
Water
The embedded water content of a
product is the total volume of fresh water that is used to produce the product

Omnipresence
of God
Man
must go through life with full awareness of his Cosmic nature and his Cosmic
connection with Creation. This awareness is vital because it alone gives
expression to the Soul of man.
Today's
world is full of problems and mostly due to the dominance of the head over the
heart, with the soul being denied self-expression. The head can easily create
problems but seldom solves them, especially when the problems arise from lust,
greed, anger and jealousy. By denying our finer nature, we keep shutting out
the soul from being given a chance to bring peace and harmony to a troubled
mankind.
Divine
Signature in every Atom
All
creation, be animate or inanimate, is made up of atoms of all kinds of elements
ranging from oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, all the way to calcium, phosphorous,
iron and so on. There are atoms present everywhere and locked within it,
enormous stores of energy. In fact, the energy contained in just five grams of
uranium was enough to wipe out Hiroshima. The presence of atomic energy
everywhere is one simple example of the signature of Omnipresence.
