“Then there is yagña, which means to perform all our actions with a feeling that we have received something from life, something precious and that we must give back something in return.

Like a friend of mine who is a doctor. While on a walk, he noticed several plastic bags thrown under the trees. He stopped and collected them, and looked for a [rubbish bin]. When I asked him why he bothered, he replied ‘These trees give me shade; they keep down the carbon dioxide level in the air. Plastic bags block this process. Let me ensure that when it rains the water reaches the roots of the trees’.”

- TKV Desikachar, Paris, October 1993 [From the book “In Search of Mind”]
