Addressing the gathering, Sadhguru asserted that religious and spiritual leaders should do their bit to influence people to take up conservation of the environment on a serious note.
“It doesn’t matter who you are, what you believe, or which heaven you will go to, all of us come from the same soil, we eat off the same soil, and when we die, we will go back to the same soil. Soil is the ultimate unifier! Faith leaders can play an instrumental role in influencing and inspiring people and policymakers to enact soil revitalization policies,” Sadhguru said in his inaugural address at the Faith Pavillion of COP28.
