Revitalizing Our National Treasures – Rivers, Water Bodies and Soil

 
Sadhguru: My engagement with mountains, forests and rivers goes back to my early childhood – not just in terms of nature and its resources that one enjoys, but as experiencing them as an integral part of myself. With four truck tubes and bamboo poles tied together, I have traversed the river Kaveri for 13 days alone. I saw the river as a life much larger than myself. People like you and me come and go, but the river has flowed for millions of years and sustains life in proportions that you cannot imagine. A river is not a resource to me; it is an immense Life. The very nature of our existence is such that literally three-fourths of our body is water. So water is not a commodity – water is life-making material. When it is in this body, how much attachment we have towards it! When it is flowing out there, why are we treating it any differently?

 
 

In the last 25 years I have been watching with concern, the gradual depletion of river flows across the country. The flow is not one year up and one year down, but steadily, gradually depleting. Last year, this depletion has taken a very steep downturn. If our rivers deplete like this in our own lifetime, we are clearly making a statement that we are not interested in the future of our children and in the wellbeing of future generations in this land. I am not a scientist and have no appropriate scientific knowledge or words to articulate this. But in my simple observation, I see it is lack of vegetation and excessive groundwater exploitation that have together wrought havoc upon our rivers. When there is not enough vegetation, especially in a tropical climate, the soil will turn into sand. Soil and rivers are deeply connected. If we deplete our soil, we will also deplete our rivers. This is what has happened to us today – our water bodies have depleted and our soil is degraded.
