| Summary/Abstract |
Sustainable development is a very slippery concept. It is slippery in the sense that it demands curtailment of luxury and privileges in favor of the needy others and therefore commitment to sustainable development by the rich and mighty may easily slip away. At the same time, high energy, high calorie, high wasteful lifestyle is not going to be sustained in the long term.

To address the issues of sustainable development what is imperative is ‘the feeling of all in each and each in all’ which is the salience; Indian spiritual tradition and wisdom will be the guiding metaphor for understanding and practice. To feel being hurt by the pain or damage wrought to the living non- humans and material world is the result of attainment of a stage that transcends the mundane and the worldly by practice of the way the ancient Indian wisdom has shown to humanity where one realizes the unity of all in his self and his self in all.

Environmental activists and scholars have taken differing intellectual positions regarding the goals and meaning conveyed by ‘sustainable development’. While most believe in a wider scope for application of the concept based on its suitability to the socio-political, economic, and biological aspects of the man-nature synergy, there are other members of the community that suspect that merely prefixing every developmental initiative with the term ‘sustainable’ would not solve the issues plaguing the environment and natural resource utilization.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the very simple words sustainable means something that has a longer life or pertaining to a system that maintains its own viability and that can be carried forward. In the Today’s world the concept of development has been replaced by the term “sustainable development”. It is because we all have realized that we are chasing the wrong goals on the name of development. Today, even a breath of fresh air, pure drinking water is becoming a luxury because of over exploitation of resources and unorganized pattern of development.
