“They tend to make us meaner rather than better human beings, less sensitive to the demands of justice, compassion and fellow humanity in our times.”

The essence of spirituality is the duty to live to its full the glorious destiny of being human.

All human beings have a right, and duty, to be joyful. Anything that thwarts this spiritual human right goes against the very purpose of human being.

We must not rest until right livelihood is within reach of every human being upon this earth we love and cherish.

It is imperative that a new and proactive spiritual vision commensurate to the challenges of the emerging world order be enunciated without delay.

Spirituality mandates us to wage a relentless war to eradicate these forces of oppression and disempowerment.

We all have a role to play in achieving this goal.

Religions have become a hindrance, rather than a help, to our shared pursuit of peace and progress.

First, we must liberate people from religion, as religion is understood and practiced today. Second, we must effect a paradigm shift from religiosity to shared spirituality.

For the world order to be one of peace and justice, for the global village to be a theater of right livelihood.

Peace among religions is a precondition for world peace.

Spiritually, life is a festival, a celebration. Joy is of the essence of life.

The religions of the world must be assessed, not on the basis of their convoluted theologies, but in terms of the extent to which they serve as forces of liberation and empowerment.

The purpose of religion should be to empower all people in this adventure of living with dignity and fulfilment.

Of being able to get up and go wherever and whenever you want. That’s invaluable.

Human beings are spirits. Being a human being is one of the ways of being a spirit.

Nothing juices me up creatively like being in my own studio for an extended period.

To be on an island inhabited by artificial ghosts was the most unbearable of nightmares

I like being challenged.

It is the contact with great masses of people who are seeking fir the moment only well-being and not salvation that weakens and devalues the indigenous population.

And it has to come from somewhere inside you and not by being like what somebody did last year.

Construct well being or produce illness in your self.
