Letter from the "Mother Earth"

My Dear Children,
In this Perceivable eternal divine universe,there are millions of planets, rarely there is life.It is my privilege to host life in its unlimited diversity.All five elements, ether(sky), air, fire,water & earth combined together are in balance within me to create and sustain precious life.

It took many millions of years to form air & water, many more to form ideal climatic conditions,conductive for life. It takes thousands of years to form fertile top soil, which is the basis of food chain on land.

Among  all life form in me humans are highest, intellectually.Only human form of life has the potential to manifest divinity; however, in the recent past,your actions are creating disharmony and imbalance in the environment. Unnatural agriculture practices are causing precious soil erosion leading to loss of fertility,rampant use of chemicals are destroying the soil eco-system, polluting rivers and poisoning the entire food chain.Deforestation and industrial practices are causing climate change and chemically pollution threatening the life on me.All modern human actions have become material centered rather than spirit centered and  are proving to be self defeating.

My children....., wake up and take action to restore and prosper for yourself, for your children and all of sacred life forms.

Lovingly,
Mother Earth
