“It should not be taken in a hot climate. If you are in a place that is cool and peaceful, and you are alone and your mind is turned toward God, then you may take the yogi medicine.”

This world is all attachment. Yet you get worried because you are attached.

Lust, Greed, Anger, Attachment – These are all paths to hell.

When you are sad or in pain or sick or you witness any cremation then you actually learn the many truths of life.

Love all men as God, even if they hurt you or shame you. Be like Gandhi and Christ.

It’s better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out.

The whole universe is our home and all residing in it belong to our family… instead of trying to see God in a particular appearance, it is better to see him in everything.

Every line of the Hanuman Chalisa is a Mahamantra.

Often one goes for one thing and finds another

Attachment is the strongest block to realization.

Total truth is necessary. You must live by what you say.

It is not necessary to meet your guru on the physical plane. The guru is not external.

The best form in which to worship God is every form.

Love is the strongest medicine.

Never put anyone out of your heart.

If you cannot love each other, you cannot achieve your goal.

Even if a person hurts you, give him love. The worst punishment is to throw someone out of your heart. You should love everyone as God, and love each other. If you cannot love each other, you cannot achieve your goal.

I’m probably the wrong person to ask. My partner in much of this work [climate movement], who really came up with the divestment campaign with me, Naomi Klein, I think has written powerfully about this.

Talk about science with everyone you meet. Especially talk about climate change. It needs to become a part of our everyday conversation (the way it is everywhere else in the world).

The ability to write compelling emails may be the single most useful talent an organizer can possess.

I don’t spend a huge amount of time fixated on climate denial because I don’t think that their objections, though sometimes couched in science, are based in science. I think they’re based in ideology. And I don’t think there’s anything you can do.

At a time when U.S. jobs are heading overseas at a record pace, and amidst increased sanctions on our manufacturers and producers from other countries, it’s imperative that we do all we can to provide our businesses a climate to operate successfully.

I’m guessing the most efficient way would be to transfer an awful lot of technology, but also direct aid to deal with climate emergencies already underway. Hillary [Clinton] has already said $100 billion a year would be appropriate.

In the States we’ve had by far the largest demonstrations in the last few years. The largest civil disobedience actions about anything in US history in the last 30 years have all been centred around the climate.

You can’t compare eras. But drivers of each era adapt to the needs and climate of their time. There are good and bad points to every era of the sport. I’m not really nostalgic about the past.
