Modern food companies are creating genetically modified seeds & patenting it.When the Green revolution was started it was started for a reason to end hunger in this world. But money has taken over this principle & now these companies are simply patenting seeds & earning more money while certain parts in the world are still starving for food.
Can a food corporation patent seed or life ??
They are not creating from nothing but simply manipulating what that exists.
So how can they claim something which already existed?
like a carpenter may manipulate a wood of a tree to make tables & chairs but he cannot claim them as the wood belongs to the owner.
So these scientist cannot claim on their patent seeds & who knows ? Are these seeds good for health ? scientist have imperfect senses & imperfect devices there are not full knowlegdable of the material world & thus mistakes have crept into these Genetically modified seeds!!!
Isopanishad clearly explains to whom everything belongs
Sri Isopanisad 1
isavasyam idam sarvam
yat kinca jagatyam jagat
tena tyaktena bhunjitha
ma grdhah kasya svid dhanam
TRANSLATION
Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong.
So everything belongs to Lord & one who claims something is a Thief
All living entities in the material world have their quota set for them & one has not to encroach on other quota.
Gandhi said "Earth can provide all living entities need but not a Single persons Greed"
Greed is the real cause of starvation & hunger
Do we need genetically modified foods??
Invocation
om purnam adah purnam idam
purnat purnam udacyate
purnasya purnam adaya
purnam evavasisyate
TRANSLATION
The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.
The invocation says clearly anything coming out of the complete whole is Complete
As this earth has also come from the Supreme Lord it is complete in all sense.
Thus EARTH has full potency to provide & nourish all needs of living entities in this world however big the population would become.
Thus there is no need to genetically modify seeds
Instead the whole research should be transformed into Organic ways & having organic pesticides which are bio-degradable & edible & not detrimental for human & animal health.
There are so many proofs of chemical pesticides polluting land & water
it won't be surprising if genetically modified grains result into harmful results on human & animal health.
These scientist need to understand that they have not created the Nature & cannot control it
but they can co-operate with nature & get wonderful benefits for all humanity.
