00:00 Oh my God!
00:02 You will say that you will give a lecture of 3 hours.
00:06 I don't have any special agenda to destroy the earth.
00:11 When civilization started, people were living with nature. They used to worship it or use it for their own benefit. At the same time, they were not exploiting it. They were using it, respecting it and living with it.
00:36 After all that history happened in civilization, so this thing came. Plastic was not there before. Now it has come.
00:45 So, because of some group of civilization or some group of society, they did something for their own benefits or their own greed.
00:54 So, I don't think so that we should have so much passion for human civilization.
01:02 No, they are not saying like that. They are saying that all these things started because of civilization. Ultimately, it starts from there.
01:11 If you leave nature, for example, like God has made us. We feel hungry, we eat food like a lion eats, a goat eats, everything eats.
01:24 But there is only one life on earth which keeps it in fridge. I will eat this tomorrow. I will eat this after 3 months. I will freeze this fruit in America and bring it to India.
01:39 This is only done by us. This toy is only done by us. If a lion sees a goat and if you feed it, it will not attack it. When it needs to be hungry, it will consume.
01:54 We consume more than we need. So, we call civilization as earth. We are attacking earth, misusing it. Civilized people are doing it.
02:08 Non-civilized people don't build buildings, don't use internet, don't make phones, don't use laptops. They live as they want to live with nature.
02:19 I think these are not civilized people. These are uneducated people.
02:26 No, no, no. Oh my god. You will say that you will get a 3 hour lecture.
02:34 All educated people are the most problematic. There is a difference between qualified and educated. If a person is qualified and has degree and respects nature, he is not educated and he is not able to behave.
02:51 I am educated and I have enough knowledge. I should not destroy nature. But I use phone. I am causing a lot of trouble to nature. But I still use it.
03:06 I am a part of civilized world. I don't have any agenda to destroy earth.
03:19 So, we have to talk later.
03:24 Thank you.
03:25 Thank you.
03:26 (upbeat music)
