It would be a real mistake for us to think that India will ever influence the world through its outsourcing or through its software technology. If India is going to influence the world, it will be through a cultural invasion, a cultural colonization.

The world is more than the sum of its suffering.

We're living in a time when the world has suddenly discovered India because it's run out of raw material for its imagination. The raw materials for imagination are inexhaustible here.

If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world...

Our minds influence the key activity of the brain, which then influences everything; perception, cognition, thoughts and feelings, personal relationships; they're all a projection of you.

Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time.
