Are we cleaning it or killing it clean?
What is it to live in a clean city? Is it to keep your
compounds clean while you leave your cupboards dirty? Or pay the Swachh Bharat
cess with curses and abuses? Or even worse, build smart cities by uprooting its
green fingers generously called as ‘Trees’?
Charity begins at home, so they say; and that home is your
heart. At least Mahatma Gandhi got it right, “I will not let anyone, walk
through my mind with their dirty feet.” Stay away from temptations, vices and
corruption. Even Shrimad Rajchandraji, the great spiritual leader and Mahatma's Guru, pronounced truth and compassion. So zip those lips prone to kasams
and gaalis. After all there is
nothing that can beat a ‘clean’ conscience and a pure soul.
With a life governed by work and consumed by social media,
hygiene has surreptitiously gone for a toss. It’s unfortunate that youngsters
today rely on deo sprays more than soap and a bucket of clean water. This may
sound crazy, but, this is a kind appeal to all the college walas to wash their jeans more often and get rid of that
Sunday to Sunday bath routine. Remember, a healthy mind dwells in a healthy
body.
Now, with a clean heart, mind and body, wouldn’t it be
easier for every Indian to transcend the vibes of positivity on to their city
and make it look like those few pages from a dream book? A clean city is a
dream city and even dreams are achievable.
Our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji has
generously dedicated the 2nd of October for Swachh Bharat campaign
to fulfil the dream of the Father of our nation. We at Care Foundation wholly support his initiative and pledge to achieve
Mahatma’s dream of a clean heart, clean soul and above all a clean city.
Happy Gandhi Jayanti!
