Although natural farming - since it can teach people to cultivate a deep understanding of nature - may lead to spiritual insight, it's not strictly a spiritual practice.

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.

As we kill nature, we are killing ourselves, and God incarnate as the world as well.

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

Since I turned the fields back to their natural state, I can't say I've had any really difficult problems with insects or disease.

If you do not try to make food delicious, you will find that nature has made it so.

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.
