This was mahatma gandhi’s idea, moving from ownership to relationship—seeing that land does not belong to us. we belong to the land. we are not the owners of the land. we are the friends of the land, like friends of the earth. the fundamental shift is in this consciousness that land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.

More From Satish Kumar

People often ask me: who has influenced you the most? your father? mahatma gandhi? yes, my choices were fundamentally influenced by them, by the spirit of equality they infused in me - my obsession for justice comes from my father, who in turn got it from mahatma gandhi.
Father People Justice
We have to shift our attitude of ownership of nature to relationship with nature. the moment you change from ownership to relationship, you create a sense of the sacred.

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? that the earth is our mother? what befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. this we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. all things are connected like the blood that unites us all. man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. one thing we know: our god is also your god. the earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
