1920: Agni Yoga’s insight into the Earth’s critical situation is ahead of its time. "People will ask, ‘Right now, how can we serve on Earth in the most beneficial way?’ They should restore the Earth’s health. There is a whole list of ways to carry out this worldwide task of restoration. One should keep in mind that people have destroyed the resources of Earth without mercy. They are ready to poison the earth and the air. They have laid waste forests—the receptacles of prana. They have diminished animal life, forgetting that animal energy nourishes the earth. They believe that untested chemical substances can take the place of prana and earthly emanations. They plunder mineral resources, unmindful that a balance must be maintained. They do not think about what caused the catastrophe of Atlantis. They neglect the fact that chemical substances should be tested over the course of a century, for a single generation is too short to determine whether a substance will bring evolution or its opposite… They think that by some act of mercy the weather will clear and people will become prosperous! But the problem of restoring health does not cross their minds. So let us love all of creation!" There is also discussion of such issues as climate change, desertification, excessive urbanization, air pollution, and narcotics.[

"What to call the illness of the planet? The best name would be ‘fever from poisoning.’ Stifling gases from the detritus of the Subtle World’s lower strata are cutting the planet off from the worlds that could be bringing it assistance. The Earth's destiny may end with a gigantic explosion if this thick veil is not penetrated." To avoid this fate and bring about the renewal of the Earth, people must consciously participate in the tremendous battle that rages not only in our visible world but primarily in the invisible Subtle World. This will help to save the Earth, end Kali Yuga, and usher in the Epoch of Maitreya, an age of worldwide peace and culture. This being a battle between the earthly world and the subtle, in a certain sense, the struggle will help link these worlds, ending the unnatural state of isolation in which earthly humanity now exists. By bringing all forces into play and raising tension and danger to an unprecedented level, the Battle makes it possible for the "Warrior of Light" to temper herself or himself, attain joy, and kindle the chakras, especially the heart.
