________________
non-violence must become all-pervasive in our thoughts, words and deeds, and should regulate humankind's relations with one another and also with Nature and other living beings. Only then would we be able to bequeath to the coming generations a peaceful planet, a healthy planet and a prosperous planet.I would like to urge the organizers of this conference to forward the Declaration to Earth Summit with the request that is should be circulated as a document of the U.N. Earth Summit. We also need to give it widest possible circulation through the Global forum. We must rise above mundane thinking, rigid approaches and complacency generated by material comforts and get on to a better understanding of environmental needs and obligations.
