Satish KumarIt doesn't matter where or how it is grown as long as it is packaged in plastic, put on the supermarket shelves, and bought as a commodity. In the New Story food is not commodity. Food is sacred. We need to be connected with soil, with animals that we take care of.
Satish KumarEducation provides you a profession. But not vocation. You do it only because you need to work to earn money to buy your food, buy your clothes, pay the bills. Our life has a greater meaning, and a greater purpose.
Satish KumarSpeed is one of the great curses of modern civilization, obsession with speed leads to quantitative approach; we come to believe that more is better.
