More quotes by 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
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
Of course, we all need to have basic necessities met, such as good health care, good food, good education and good housing. But what is good? Having too much is bad, as having too little is also bad.
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 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

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
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
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
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
If happiness was in money or power, then America should be the happiest country in the world, but it is not.
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
All the big problems of the world today are routed in the philosophy of separateness and dualism.
Satish Kumar
We need to learn to live in the here and now this moment is the best moment. Live it fully.
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 the lives of great men, neither did fate give up, NOR DID THEY.
Satish Kumar
Speed is one of the great curses of modern civilization, obsession with speed leads to quantitative approach we come to believe that more is better. This is very materialistic, we have to realize that it is the quality of life, quality of relationships, quality of food, medicine, education and everything else which matters.
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
In fact, the environmental crisis is related to the crisis of aesthetics, crisis of social cohesion and the crisis of spiritual values.
