The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.

The problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger, and so on, are human-created problems which can be resolved through human effort, understanding and the development of a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.

A truly peaceful mind is very sensitive, very aware.

Peace in the world relies on individuals finding inner peace.

A lot of problems we are facing, essentially, man made problem. Own creation. Not due to lack of intelligence.

‎In today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.

It is important not to allow ourselves to be put off by the magnitude of others' suffering. The misery of millions is not a cause for pity. Rather it is a cause for compassion.
