More quotes by Satish Kumar

Satish Kumar
All the big problems of the world today are routed in the philosophy of separateness and dualism.
Satish Kumar
We depend on the gifts of nature, but these gifts must be received with gratitude and not exploited or abused
Satish Kumar
Human happiness, true prosperity and joyful living can only emerge from a life of elegant simplicity, embedded in the arts and crafts.
Satish Kumar
We human beings are spiritual beings. We have soul. We have spirit. We have mind. We have consciousness. We want fulfillment, we want happiness, we want satisfaction, we want joy. We want imagination. We want art, culture, music.
Satish Kumar
Happiness is possible only when we are kind to others and contented within.
Satish Kumar
We change by changing our consciousness and by saying, money should not be a commodity. Money should be a means to an end.

Satish Kumar
We need to develop a sense of sufficiency to be happy.
Satish Kumar
Each of us needs to eliminate our anger, fear and greed. The roots of social conflicts and political tensions are in personal anger, fear and greed.
Satish Kumar
If happiness was in money or power, then America should be the happiest country in the world, but it is not.
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
Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe
Satish Kumar
I and a friend of mine called Mannon talked together, and we both decided to walk this journey.
Satish Kumar
The way to healthy living is to shift from quantitative economic growth to quality of life, food, water and air - to shift from craving to contentment and from greed to gratitude
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
In the lives of great men, neither did fate give up, NOR DID THEY.
Satish Kumar
If we had adhered to the concept of connectedness, then we would not have created nuclear weapons, huge armies and global warming.
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
