If we had adhered to the concept of connectedness, then we would not have created nuclear weapons, huge armies and global warming.
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

One was a book I read by Mahatma Gandhi. In it was a passage where he said that religion, the pursuing of the inner journey, should not be separated from the pursuing of the outer and social journey, because we are not isolated beings.
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

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
Quality and perfection are achieved with time. You do not create a perfect painting or a perfect poem by hurrying. Time is always coming.
Satish Kumar
That was my real education in the world - I learned politics, the social and cultural life of India, Hindu tradition and religion, and Buddhism.
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
If we had kept the vision of interconnectedness, we would not have created the kind of environmental crisis facing the world today.

So, at the age of nine, I became a monk, and from then on I was there practicing that kind of nonviolence.
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.

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.
