Whatever you want to have happen to you make it happen for others now and eventually but inevitably you will reap the seeds you have sown.

I'm totally into veganism and animal rights, but I'm not into being an angry and judgmental activist.

Three things to never leave home without: your keys, birdseed for the birds, and your mala beads to chant through difficulties.

It has been an obsession of human beings to create a hierarchy that places the human species on top and lumps all the "other animals" together beneath us. The resulting "speciesism" allows us to look upon animals as less deserving of all manner of rights and considerations than humans. To support this lower status, humans have argued that animals act instinctually; don't have souls; don't feel physical pain like we do; and lack self-consciousness, cognitive intelligence, emotional feelings, morality, and ethics.

To be politically activated is to dare to care about the happiness of others and that is just about the most important activity anyone can be involved in at this time, because it changes a person - it lifts them from normal self-centeredness to a state of other centeredness. That is a good thing because it expands our perception of self. This expansion of consciousness leads to enlightenment, which is the meaning of yoga.

If you want people to listen to you, then be willing to listen to them.

Everything we do should contribute to happiness.
