This piece of Mythology has a story:
I heard our Prime minister ji
quote from Ramayana
in the news channel
When Lord Rama was in Exile
and one day
when Sita was thirsty
he shot an arrow into the earth
and water sprouted
to quench her thirst
he went ahead and asked her to sip.
How high must have been the water table?
This incident set the thoughts
in my mind rolling
as my sis commented,
“Then the Earth was new.”
My little knowledge of science intervened
When mother earth was cooling
slowly and steadily
Plants had begun their task
of maintaining the balance
rains swept carbon away into the
earth, lakes rivers and oceans
in different beautiful forms
while the preparations were going on
for the highly intelligent species
least did mother nature know
that the same species would
ruin the balance
dirty every drop of water
ruin and add debris to every nook and
corner
cut the very lifeline
creating his kingdom
of cement jungles
indulging in damaging warfare
destroying their own creations
and the very foundation of their lives
thus ruining their own happiness.
Alas! they never realized their folly
in spite of the climatic destruction
and ironically continue quoting Ramayana
without imbibing the values of Ramayana
which taught to coexist with nature.
