There is at the moment in the world a battle going on between those who are pursuing materialistic paths-globalizers of economic growth and those hell-bent on this 'big is better' idea-on the one hand, and on the other hand those who are dedicated to spiritual renewal, more small-scale development, more human scale, more sustainability, more crafts and arts. Where human beings are not just sold to companies and money and those kinds of things. Where human beings have a sacred path.
Satish KumarOne was a book I read by Mahatma Gandhi. In it was a passage where he said that religion, the pursuing of the inner journey, should not be separated from the pursuing of the outer and social journey, because we are not isolated beings.
Satish KumarWhat we call 'economic growth' is in fact a growth in waste and a decline in the health of natural habitat
Satish KumarHuman happiness, true prosperity and joyful living can only emerge from a life of elegant simplicity, embedded in the arts and crafts.
