I was pursuing the inner path at the expense of the rest of my being and the rest of the world.

If you can kill animals, the same attitude can kill human beings. The mentality is the same which exploits nature and which creates wars.

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.

Without the land, the rivers, the oceans, the forests, the sunshine, the minerals and thousands of natural resources we would have no economy whatsoever

Our relationship with Nature... best way of forging this relationship... be a pilgrim and not a tourist on Planet Earth

That was my real education in the world - I learned politics, the social and cultural life of India, Hindu tradition and religion, and Buddhism.

Happiness is possible only when we are kind to others and contented within.
