Beschreibung

Optimism is the hope for creating a better life for everyone, but as it is, similar to the weather, circumstances cannot always be calculated accurately. There is always room for manoeuvre. In this life we have received a human form and now? Be wise, and preserve the world. But what does that even mean? Scientists call this human form 'Homo sapiens' - the wise human being. To say wisely; this life is destined for the awareness of the Supreme Truth and to be happy in this awareness. We confidently go this way together, but only slowly and arduously do we learn to fall and practice getting up again. Learning life requires patience and raising awareness of good instructions and community. Happiness then comes by itself. Anyone who adopts this natural life path can immediately free the Supreme Good for people and make the world a better place. A sustainable, constant self-confidence wants to serve all people well so that this world remains and becomes a nice, even beautiful world for future generations. "Be the change you want to see in the world." (Instruction of Mahatma Gandhi) Live as an example and act conscientiously.

Dedication

To Mother Earth, Mother Cow, the mothers of this world and my biological mother, who are all incarnations of the goddess of fortune, and give wealth, protection and peace to the children of this world.

To my spiritual master Kadamba Kanana Swami and our common desire to please Srila Prabhupada.

Foreword

This work was created in an agreement with a private publisher who squeezed me for ideas, me telling him: "I am a yogi, a spiritual traveller, what do you expect?"

While travelling, I began to write this book, which the publisher liked right away. Nevertheless, the agreement did not last and the manuscript was returned to me between the summer of 2021 and the spring of 2022.

The work is partly inspired by travelling, where sustainable living becomes survival and partly by the study of the Bhakti Shastra, scriptures of the Chaitanya-Yoga tradition.

The wonderful thing is that the yogis, especially the original ones, could live without anything because their vows demanded to give everything away.

These ascetics follow sacred texts such as Bhagavad-Gitā, which explains meditation in renunciation and observance of regulative principles, especially in Chapter Six.

The entire book, as well as all my books, are bridges and paths back to this very original source of wisdom.

All people can benefit from it by learning to live better and more sustainably by honouring this life.

Please take a pen and an extra piece of paper, or two, to process what you have read. Better still, read aloud or in a group where one can discuss this.

Together we can thus preserve and heal Mother Earth.

Cover Story

Optimism is the hope for creating a better life for everyone, but as it is, similar to the weather, circumstances cannot always be calculated accurately. There is always room for manoeuvre.

In this life we have received a human form and now? Be wise, and preserve the world.

But what does that even mean? Scientists call this human form 'Homo sapiens' - the wise human being.

To say wisely; this life is destined for the awareness of the Supreme Truth and to be happy in this awareness.

We confidently go this way together, but only slowly and arduously do we learn to fall and practice getting up again.

Learning life requires patience and raising awareness of good instructions and community. Happiness then comes by itself.

Anyone who adopts this natural life path can immediately free the Supreme Good for people and make the world a better place.

A sustainable, constant self-confidence wants to serve all people well so that this world remains and becomes a nice, even beautiful world for future generations.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

(Instruction of Mahatma Gandhi)

Live as an example and act conscientiously.

It can be so simple. Just exchange a disposable bag for a long-term bag.

Take a multi-purpose bamboo straw instead of a single-use one.

Refuel your mobile phone with sustainable solar energy and your car with recurring wind power, or move your centre of life into a sustainable natural oasis.

It is good for all living beings, but everything begins in consciousness. Here the people are top. Only the right attitude and instruction are needed. Find the basis for a better and greener world here in this book.

Think of the children and youngsters who grow up on the same earth. How should this be done and what can we do now to herald good?

Fortunately, we can look back and say, 'Yes, we did everything right.'

This is the opportunity to live this life in balance and bliss.

Living green is an eternal preservation of the wisdom of the living being.

Introduction:

‚Green Living‘ is means and purpose, an attitude and awareness.

This entire book is inspired by sustainable communities and wisdom that finds ground all over the world.

Supreme wisdom is like a seed, and one can sow it into the garden of life.

Life can be a magnificent garden with many wonderful plants and possibilities.

The plants represent our conscious love, which we constantly carry out, preserve and nourish. Love means devotional service and sacrifice.

This plant grows with the loving care of a strong tree, which constantly and steadfastly defies all conditions.

The leaves of this tree are like knowledge, the flowers like the splendour of life and the fruits like the results of the action.

The saintly spiritual scholar Srila Prabhupada explains this analogy as follows:

“If a person receives the seeds of loving service, that person should become a good gardener and care for them safely to sow this seed into the heart.

As soon as this seed is well watered with hearing and praise, the seed will germinate."

This book on green living serves as a life counsellor and consciousness theory, which explains a simple balance between nature and humans.

Counselling is necessary because human beings:

Still consume more than one has to, and it is good and healthyHave specific shortcomings that bring down the world and the living parts of the worldContinue to act greedily, addicted, corrupt and in fearUnpeacefully attack the world and its living beings, disturb them and touch them in dignity

Wise men, like Srila Prabhupada, serve as a model for a better life in the green area of love, sustainability and kindness.

Through his personality, many people found hope and confidence in a constantly growing and modernised world.

His life's work is pioneering spirituality and the movement back to consciousness and sustainability, based on simple, yet ancient principles. Peaceful, good-natured, generous and protective: Green living in peaceful cooperation with all living beings.

For example, in Srila Prabhupada's projects oxen are not slaughtered, but trained as a working force to prepare the field for green and sustainable planting.
