More quotes by 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
I and a friend of mine called Mannon talked together, and we both decided to walk this journey.

Satish Kumar

Satish Kumar
I want to see a New Story education, which is not only about intellectual knowledge - not only about measurement - not only about academic achievement. It is also about heart, feelings, emotions, relationship, love, compassion, generosity, beauty. All these values are part of the heart.
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
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
We need to develop a sense of sufficiency to be happy.
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
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
Instead of seeking success we should look for fulfillment. And fulfillment is giving total attention to the process of living.
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 need to learn to live in the here and now this moment is the best moment. Live it fully.
Satish Kumar
