  • Loving people with whom we do not agree
  • The ultimate love, knowledge, and heroism we receive from our mothers
  • The feminine motherly quality we can find in gurus
  • Satish’s experience in the Jain tradition
  • Negative consequences from materialism, consumerism, and the industrial way of life
  • Pollution, global warming, and harm to bio-diversity as our collective karma
  • Why everyone should take a Hippocratic oath
  • Remembering we are all human beings and can all practice love as our primary religion
  • Science, gravity, and the capacity to understand the non-physical reality
  • How love holds together the spiritual world
  • Unilateral love and not waiting to love another until they love us
  • Gandhi’s concept of Sarvodaya, or the uplifting of every living being without exception

“Do no harm to yourself, do no harm to other people, do no harm to nature. That is the Hippocratic oath a doctor takes. I would like to suggest that everybody should take that. Politicians should take that. Scientists should take that. Economists should take that. Business and industrial leaders should take that. Do no harm. If you do no harm to yourself, and you do no harm to other people, and you do no harm to nature, then you can have a more positive karma. The consequence will be a more harmonious relationship, and a more peaceful world, and a better relationship among all humans.” – Satish Kumar
