More quotes by Satish Kumar
I was pursuing the inner path at the expense of the rest of my being and the rest of the world.
Satish Kumar
Nature is out there, and we can do what we like to it. We can cut down the rain forest. We can put animals in factory farms and slaughter them as we like. We can over-fish the oceans. We can pollute the rivers. We can pollute the water and change climate. We are somehow superior to nature. We are somehow rulers of nature.
Satish Kumar
The great work of social transformation begins with the first small step of stopping, calming, relaxing, reflecting and acting in a beneficial way.
Satish Kumar
You have no skills in your hands. You have no education of understanding the meaning and the purpose and the compassion and the relationship. You have just a profession.
Satish Kumar
If individuals start to walk on the path of spirit and feel a sense of the sacred connectedness, then social, economic and political problems will also begin to get resolved.
Satish Kumar
The force and the strength for peace will come from people. And that will happen when people start to realize that all the diversity and differences we see of nationalities, of religions, of cultures, of languages, are all beautiful diversities, for they are only on the surface. And deep down we share the same humanity, the global humanity.
Satish Kumar
At the moment, for example, maybe ten percent of money in the world is related to goods and services. Ninety percent of money is just moving around the world, chasing money. So, money has become the ruler. And we have become the servant.
Satish Kumar
People are are moving away from the fossil fuel-based economy, to a more renewable economy. That is what is called the 'transition town' movement. There are three hundred towns in Britain that are making this transition. Taking energy from solar power, from wind power, from water power.
Satish Kumar
Instead of seeking success we should look for fulfillment. And fulfillment is giving total attention to the process of living.
Satish Kumar
It is only an illusion that time is running out. This is where the problem of fear arises. We become anxious that I don't have enough time and I have to do everything quickly. We need to turn our attention away from results, achievements and outcomes.
Satish Kumar
In spite of nuclear weapons, large numbers of American citizens feel totally insecure. And in spite of so much wealth, industry and technology, many Americans are living under deprivation and anxiety. So happiness is not in accumulation of material goods, it's in sharing and caring.
Satish Kumar
The children are being conditioned to think that the purpose of life is to get a good job. You get paid but you don't get satisfaction from your work.
Satish Kumar
We need to learn to live in the here and now this moment is the best moment. Live it fully.
Satish Kumar
In the lives of great men, neither did fate give up, NOR DID THEY.
Satish Kumar
If we had kept the vision of interconnectedness, we would not have created the kind of environmental crisis facing the world today.
Satish Kumar
Because the Western civilization is dominated by dualistic thinking, holistic scientists and philosophers don't get the recognition they deserve.
Satish Kumar
We depend on the gifts of nature, but these gifts must be received with gratitude and not exploited or abused
Satish Kumar
Earth is a living entity. And if it's a living organism, then we have to have a reverence for all life. Food should be local, organic rather than grown with chemical fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides.
Satish Kumar
This was Mahatma Gandhi’s idea, moving from ownership to relationship—seeing that land does not belong to us. We belong to the land. We are not the owners of the land. We are the friends of the land, like friends of the earth. The fundamental shift is in this consciousness that land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.
Satish Kumar
People are increasingly becoming disappointed and disillusioned with politics and business, and especially with the market economy. They are meeting the physical needs of human beings, maybe. They are providing food. But not good and healthy food.
Satish Kumar
