Description
This book studies the relationship between environmental protection and spirituality, examining how human attitudes toward nature have led to ecological degradation. It explores the concept of environmental philosophy, arguing that physical environmental pollution is an outward reflection of inner psychic and spiritual pollution. The author discusses how modern science, technology, and unlimited human desires have alienated humanity from the natural world, fostering a sense of superiority and destroying the earth's balance. Covering themes of eco-spirituality, human consciousness, and moral values, the text investigates traditional Indian philosophical perspectives, including teachings from the Upanisads, as well as the ethical principles of Jainism and Buddhism—such as non-violence and self-purification. Ultimately, the work presents the spiritual approach to nature as an essential tool for environmental preservation, emphasizing that healing the planet requires clearing inner human pollution and reorienting human consciousness toward eco-centric values and respect for all life forms.
