Cleaness is a MIND GAME

CLEANLINESS :
we think, speak, debate and then totally forget.
IS NEXT TO GODLINESS. ALAS, THINGS ARE OFTEN DIFFERENTWHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING THIS TO PRACTISE. “We Indians are personally very clean people. We brush our teeth and take a bath every day and wash our hands before eating. We keep our houses speck clean. But when it comes to public places, as people we are simply unable to keep our streets, our railway stations, hospitals, or places of worship clean. This is the state of affairs everywhere in India including hundreds and thousands of villages, towns, mega-cities. We simply have very poor civic sense or social ethics.
All of us would agree to the fact that lack of Hygiene, Sanitation and Civic Sense is one of the critical challenges India and its citizens face today. Dirtiness is our weakness, it’s our habit, it’s a nuisance linked to our mentality. Increasing Population is also one of the reason behind all this ,,but it’s more of our careless towards cleanliness ,, it’s the lazy attitude towards cleanliness in public place by all Indians . it’s not going to be a successful campaign unless and until we all develop a mass movement towards developing habit of cleanliness .
the mission will aim to : changing people’s attitudes, mindsets and behaviors. This is a welcome, timely and much needed initiative. Patriotism and civic sense produce character and character produces hope and honor. It is the sum total of integrity, honesty, ethics, conscience, loyalty, mental toughness, courage and consistency. It will have to clean up the centuries-old muck of casteism, racism and gender discrimination as part of the Swachh-Bharat campaign. The change GANDIJI stressed on was on the attitudes of people, the change is required:” in their thinking, in their vison and in their speaking” - that a person does not become less respectful by holding broom in his hand, that all works are equally important and all people should be treated with dignity.
The Evil of dirtiness is comforting unseen in the mind, in the eyes and is equally on the Tongue of each of us . All our sense have developed the habit of let it go tendency & as a result The Nasty is enjoying advantage , strong and threatening grip on all our struggles of cleaning. THE EVIL is in relaxing in the mind, in our thoughts. The roots of poor civic sense are grouted very deep in each individuals ,,the evil is in our EYES as we see all , but close our eyes instead of doing something ,,the Evil is in our speaking, :we advise a lot ,,we say a lot but when it comes to put in practice we are far behind .IT’S LIKE PUTTING STITCHES AND SEWING DOWN OWN SENSES INSTEAD OF ENCOUNTERING SUCH SITUATIONS. ,it’s pain in our NOSE , unbearable foul smell which we experience so many time on streets ,at public places, at public toilets.
