Fabric of Humanity Quotes

“There was a time when members of a tribe were required to see benefits of their tribe of more significance than personal fulfilments, which ensured a bitter-sweet survival of that specific tribe over the survival of other tribes. But now that our tribal days are over, we stand at yet another crossroads in the history of human evolution - now we must make a choice, not as tribalistic ape-men but as conscientious human - we must make a choice whether our own country, our own religion, our own language, our own skin color, our own cultural heritage is more important to us than anything else, or are we going to finally let go of our instinctual tribalistic traits and be humans above all sectarian identities.”

“If you can actually see a world full of harmony, beyond the tribal world filled with tribal hatred and conflicts, it would automatically become your reality, and that reality of your mind would outpour into the world through your actions, thus it would become the reality of the world you live in. It all begins with perception and realization.”

“Don't be obsessed with yet another revolution to overthrow the opposition, if you think that a violently excruciating revolution will make everything right. Let me ask a question about this brave new revolution of yours, when you have finally defeated all the bad guys and it's all perfect and just and fair - when you've finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going to do with the people like you - the trouble-makers? How are you going to protect your glorious revolution from the next one? You may most blindly and boastfully proclaim that you will win. But remember, no one wins for long. The wheel just keeps turning.”

“Los místicos dicen que tú no eres tu cuerpo. Los materialistas dicen que tú eres solamente tu cuerpo. Pero la realidad existencial de la vida es que, tú no eres tu cuerpo, tú no eres tu mente, tú no eres nada. Porque, no hay nada constante en ti en ningún momento que puedas decir, eres eso. Tu mente está cambiando constantemente, tu cuerpo está cambiando constantemente, tú como criatura biopsicológica estás en constante evolución. Si hay algo que es constante en ti, es el cambio. Entonces, en realidad, tú eres una fuerza eterna de cambio.”

“If you just become some new cruel people, because you have been treated with cruelty by some old cruel people, and start treating others with cruelty, then they will end up becoming the new cruel people who will lead to many more generations of cruelty and violence. So, the cycle must break with you. Break the cycle my friend - break the cycle of violence, break the cycle of racism, break the cycle of bigotry. That's the only way all humans can live in peace.”

“Remember my friend, everybody wants to have a family of their own, but what about the greater family called humanity beyond the personal domain of individual existence! Who will take care of them, if not you! Your blood is full with vigor my brave soldier of destiny, so bring all that vigor out in the service of your family called humanity.”

“Lawmakers, who rarely have an insight of a truly progressive and civilized society, decide on the perimeters of law based on their biases and knacks, and rarely on actual scientific evidence. It's like asking the blind to show the path. So, for law to be of actual use in the society at our current evolutionary stage, it must be cooked in the vessel of scientific findings with the fire of reasoning and compassion.”

“The fools of today's politics keep dividing the lands into more and more pieces, thinking that it would bring their people security, whereas the reality is, such an act only brings insecurity, as it leads to nothing but an increasing amount of conflicts. Division can’t bring peace and security, only assimilation can.”
