Question

The pollution of the physical environment has contaminated our minds also. The simplicity and
innocence of the days of yore are not to be seen. Rapid development in science and technology and
tremendous increase in the production of wealth have made us materialistic. Materialism has rather
overpowered us and we are engrossed in the mad race of earning and spending. We are thus wasting our
powers and little we see in Nature that is ours. Materialism seems to be sounding the final death knell of
humanism and spiritualism, which indeed made our life worth living. We are steadily losing faith in
higher ideals and values and are coming to regard the accumulation of wealth as our be all and end all.

(d) What has contaminated our minds?
