 Friends, I understand that an ambitious New Delhi Declaration is being considered. We are all aware that the sustainable development goals have to be achieved by 2030, of which attainment of islanding is also a part. I wish you well as you deliberate further towards proposing a global strategy for land degradation neutrality. I would end by saying a very popular prayer from one of our olden scriptures, Om Dayo Ho Shanti, Antariksham Shanti. The word Shanti does not only refer to peace or the antidote to violence. Here it refers to prospering. Being has a law of being, a purpose, and everybody has to fulfill that purpose. The fulfillment of that purpose is prosperity, Om Dayo Ho Shanti, Antariksham Shanti. So it says, May the skies have an in-space prosper, Pruthvihi Shanti, Apah Shanti, Aushadaya Shanti, Manaspataya Shanti, Visvedeva Ha Shanti, Brahm Shanti, May Mother Earth Prosper. This includes the flora and fauna with whom we share our planet. May they prosper, may every drop of water prosper, may the divine gods prosper. Shravah Shanti, Shanti Revah Shanti, Samesh Shanti Redai, may everybody prosper, may I also be placed with prosperity, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om Prosperity, Prosperity is Prosperity. The thought and philosophy of our ancestors was all embracing and filled with a great thought. They realized the true relationship between me and we. They knew that prosperity of me can only be through prosperity of we. When our ancestors said we, they did not just mean their family or community or even just humans, it includes the sky, water, plants, trees, everything. It is also very important to know the order in which they are praying for peace and prosperity. They pray for the sky, the earth, the water, the plants, these are things that sustain us. This is what we call the environment. If this prosper, then I prosper. This was their mantra. Even today, this is an extremely relevant thought.
