Giving up your ego is the shortest way to unification with nature.

Left alone, the earth maintains its own fertility, in accordance with the orderly cycle of plant and animal life.

The simple hearth of the small farm is the true center of our universe.

Giving up your ego is the shortest way to unification with nature.

I believe that even 'returning-to-nature' and anti pollution activities, no matter how commendable, are not moving toward a genuine solution if they are carried out solely in reaction to the over development of the present age.

When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.

If a farmer does abandon his or her "tame" fields completely to nature, mistakes and destruction are inevitable.
