“Sapient or Savage (The Sonnet)
To be or not to be,
That is not the question.
To be human or stay animal,
That is the question.
Human and animal,
What is the difference!
To be animal is to be selfish,
To be human is to go beyond the self.
There's more to life than us and them,
There's more to life than loss and gain.
There's more to life than money and fame,
There's more to life than dogmatic lanes.
To be or not to be, that is not the question.
Be sapient or stay savage, it's your decision.”
― Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“We need materials to live, but if we think of materials to be life itself, then that's it - we are dead already - so is all possibility of sustainability - so is all possibility of health, harmony and humanity.”

“Unselfishness or selflessness is not the absence of the self, it is the absence of an exclusive self, and the presence of an inclusive self - the presence of an expansive self.”
