The increasing desolation of nature, the exhaustion of resources, the uneasiness and disintegration of the human spirit, all have been brought about by humanity's trying to accomplish something.

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

Gradually I came to realize that the process of saving the desert of the human heart and revegetating the actual desert is actually the same thing.

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

Unless people can become natural people, there can be neither natural farming nor natural food.

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.

Natural farming is just farming, nothing more. You don't have to be a spiritually oriented person to practice my methods.
