Upon being asked by mother Sachi to account for Lord Krishna behavior of eating soil instead of food, the Lord replied in a surprisingly philosophical way. "Why are you angry, mother?" He said. "You gave Me dirt, so how am I to blame? 

Rice and sweets, or anything edible, is all but a transformation of dirt. You gave Me dirt—and I ate dirt. Why do you object?" Lord argued that since all food comes originally from the earth, it is but a transformation of dirt. So eating sweets or eating dirt, what's the difference? 

This is something that frequently strikes my mind, even in religious books the significance of soil is expressed so praisingly. But why are we lagging behind to protect it even though we are distinctly aware about importance of soil? What actually is lacking? It’s our responsibility to protect it. Let’s get awaken from subconscious state to conscious reality. Home has to be kept clean, treasured and preserved. And this is reality’. 

Small step can make a mammoth difference.
