Cleanliness is next to Godliness

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness”

My Lord almighty saves our souls!

For we are buried under debris of our deeds.

We criticize, use sarcasm, but change is what difficult to bring in.

Our deeds and thoughts contradict each other.

We wish new government to bring in development to uplift our society, but are we ready to inculcate a change for good within ourselves first.

Decluttering the mind of all the crap and refueling it with positive thoughts is the need of time.

Many abused, made fun of swatch Bharat Abhiyaan as a publicity gimmick but how many of us pledged to keep our surroundings clean?

The answer is clear, we want the change, but are not ready to change ourselves.

To bring in the cleaner surroundings first we need to dejunk our thoughts.

All need to deeply inculcate the healthy hygienic practices.

We all need to behave ethically and teach the new generation the same values.

People pee, spit,  litter anywhere and everywhere.

We are so consumed of arrogance and laziness the result is we are leaving behind muddled atmosphere for our coming generation.

Ever think of the sanitation staff, do we expect them to collect our leftovers from ground, clean our spit, from all over. They are humans too!

It’s the least effort to use dustbins and behave ourselves.

People in the name of religion throw away all the puja leftovers in the river including “the most holy polythene bags”. In pretext of such a act we our killing the aquatic life, harming the marine ecology.

The disfigured “used” idols of God & Goddess can be seen left under the mercy of some tree. Is this not littering the ones pious holy statues of our lord.

We say this is ‘human tendency but it is the high time we really need to change this so called tendency of littering.

Let’s all step forward and pledge to practice cleanliness in all possible ways and make alive the age old idiom “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”.
