“Why then this anger on the part of Arya for a child who has to be cherished, protected? Why utter such harsh words full of rage so unbecoming of a father's love for the child? It is said that words of curse or blessing directed at their children, uttered by parents even in their sleep come true without fail. Parents are like gods to the children. While blessings from them take the form of boons, words uttered in rage turn into curses. When Arya speaks in such anger against Vaishampayana my mind is greatly distressed. One gets attached even to a tree that one has planted and nourished; how much more should one love one's children born out of one's own loins. Enough of this torrent of rage against Vaishampayana. He would not have done anything that goes against his nature.”

“At the Desoto Solar Farm, the company had a broken lock on a 24,000 volt transformer room with bare electrical connections inside of it. The contractor had warned me about the dangers of entering such a room when it was energized. I knew the local children were playing on the solar farm and may discover it. As such, I told the contractor to either fix the lock or turn off the transformer to protect the children. They ignored me and left it energized and unlocked!”

“I’m here for other children. I’m here because I care. I’m here because children everywhere are suffering and because forty thousand people die each day from hunger. I’m here because those people are mostly children. We have got to understand that the poor are all around us and we are ignoring them. We have got to understand that these deaths are preventable. We have got to understand that people in third world countries think and care and smile and cry just like us. We have got to understand that they dream our dreams and we dream theirs. We have got to understand that they are us. We are them. My dream is to stop hunger by the year 2000. My dream is to give the poor a chance. My dream is to save the 40,000 people who die each day. My dream can and will come true if we all look into the future and see the light that shines there. If we ignore hunger, that light will go out. If we all help and work together, it will grow and burn free with the potential of tomorrow.”

“Children convert you because, against your will, they slay the dragon of selfishness. They get you out of almost all the bad moods you'd like to indulge in, and they bring out into the open very clearly all the elements that need healing in you. That's why I tell all my friends to have them -- children, that is -- or at least not to close themselves to the possibility of welcoming them.”
