Who says spirituality Kills ambitions?

The most heard misconception about spirituality is that it annihilates ambitions. It sounds a little bit weird but it is found widely embedded in the mind of general laypeople. Most people often advocate that it inundates your mind and body with peace, calmness, tranquility, and softness which become barriers in your voyage to clinch your dreams. This specifically diminishes your energy and longingness for achieving goals in your life. Very often people think that spiritualistic people shouldn’t have a fervid desire for earning money in their life. These are the very common but wrong perspectives people have made about spiritualism and they often get scared to follow the spiritualistic path.

But I will tell you, spirituality is the path that assists you to ascend your every character and thoughts beyond your imagination. You will become a completely transformed person filled with virtuous and righteous thoughts and character. It leads your life towards complete happiness. Things started to become extremely beautiful and pleasant.   even on small achievements, you begin to cherish them with maximum contentment. characters and. Hence, you will have a happy and joyful mind which works more properly and efficiently than an anxious and worried mind. So you don’t need to crave for successful and prosperous life however it comes as a byproduct of a spiritualistic pathway.

Earning money through morally acceptable work is not heinous however it is the result of your strong commitment and hard work. This is what actually spiritualism teaches us to be focused concentrated, dedicated and hard-working. Success is inevitable when people become focused and dedicated in their work. Some of the enlightened gurus have insisted that earning lavishing amount of money is not wrong, enjoying a luxurious life is not wrong but he/she needs to spend some of his earnings for the service and welfare of poor people and mother earth.

The major highlight of the 5th Amendment of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 2029

The National Park and Wildlife Conservation Act was promulgated in 2029, which had brought paramount changes regarding the conservation and protection of wildlife and their habitats. In the very beginning, Nepal followed the Yellowstone model, which more importantly emphasized the protection of flagship species and their habitats. As a result, Chitwan National Park was established in 2030 primarily focusing on the conservation of One Horned Rhinocerous and Tiger. Eventually, other national parks were also established giving higher priority to species-focused conservation like Baridya National Park for Tiger conservation in 2032 and so on. However, with the passing time, the modality of conservation was to be reviewed, so addressing this need, The National Park and Wildlife Conservation Act had amendments in the different time periods for five times. 

The 5th amendment poses special attention as it has made some terrific provisions concerning wildlife conservation and protection. Firstly, the management of wildlife corridors is an important input it has made. Increasing construction of linear infrastructure, population growth, and developmental works have resulted in the fragmentation of wildlife habitats. It has impeded the movement of animals and is forced to be confined within the narrow habitat which causes in loss of genetic diversity due to genetic drift. Corridors connect fragmented habitats thereby easing the flow of animals which will eventually reduce the severity of genetic drift while maintaining genetic diversity.

It has made a provision of wildlife farming, breeding, and research of various wild animals, reptiles, and amphibians. The person or any organization who wishes to start wildlife farming can easily begin their business after permission taken from the Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation. The major purpose behind the formulation of this provision is to enhance the livelihood of local people through the farming of wildlife, however, the policy doesn't look supportive to marginalized communities.  However, some wildlife conservationists widely criticize this provision accusing, unless we don't have good monitoring mechanisms, this will further increase the possibility of wildlife poaching and illegal trading.

The provision of providing animals for research and educational exhibitions would allow national and international scientists and researchers to investigate the various aspects of animals and their habitat. It will yield evidence and findings regarding the status, ecology, habitat, and threats of the concerned species and will assist in carrying out research-based management and protection activities. 

The provision of the establishment of zoos, wildlife rescue centers, and wildlife hospital is another positive input of the 5th amendment. Similarly, the person who illegally stores, transport, and sell wildlife's body parts of protected species is fined up to Rs. 10 Lakhs and sentenced to 15-year jail or both. 
The provisions made in the 5th amendment of NPWC act 2029 are strongly inclined towards the protection and conservation of wildlife and their habitat.
