How to Save Mankind from Extinction Satsang given by Param Sant Satgurudev Shri Hans Ji Maharaj at Prem Nagar Ashram, Hardwar, India The burning question of the day is: how to save man from extinction? Although this has been the problem of the century, never before has it assumed the tremendous proportions that it has today. The scientific invention of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction have made mankind apprehensive about the extinction of the human race in the event of another world war. Leaders all over the world have tried to solve this problem. They genuinely feel that only permanent peace can save mankind, but they grope in darkness trying to find a way to achieve permanent peace.

We operate by investing our attention in what we want to do, what we want to accomplish, what we are interested in or what we want to know.

We share our attention so freely with others, mostly unaware of how it is being manipulated and depleted by them. Our precious is used up, draining us into a near-comatose state. We vegetate in front of TV or cruise the interne
