More quotes by Satish Kumar
We are not slaves of the market. Our human life has a greater meaning than making money, making profit, and working for the market or for multinational corporations.
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
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
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
I was pursuing the inner path at the expense of the rest of my being and the rest of the world.
Satish Kumar
We need to learn to live in the here and now this moment is the best moment. Live it fully.
Satish Kumar
I and a friend of mine called Mannon talked together, and we both decided to walk this journey.
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 then came to the Soviet Union. One day we were walking and carrying our banner and distributing a few leaflets in Russian to people, and we met two women on the road.
Satish Kumar
We depend on the gifts of nature, but these gifts must be received with gratitude and not exploited or abused
Satish Kumar
We need to develop a sense of sufficiency to be happy.
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
Human happiness, true prosperity and joyful living can only emerge from a life of elegant simplicity, embedded in the arts and crafts.
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
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
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
If you can kill animals, the same attitude can kill human beings. The mentality is the same which exploits nature and which creates wars.
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
That was my childhood. I grew up with the monks, studying Sanskrit and meditating for hours in the morning and hours in the evening, and going once a day to beg for food.
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
