'Farmers were the first moral philosophers; they
don't expect to reap if they have not sown, and they
know very well that if they sow cabbages they will not
harvest carrots. How can someone who sows nothing
but hatred and strife hope to reap a harvest of love and
peace? If you want a marble palace you are not going
to start building with clay bricks. If you want a healthy
body you are not going to give it poisonous food.
How can anyone expect to develop a healthy, sturdy
psyche, a lucid mind and a generous heart if he is
seething with anarchic thoughts and feelings poisoned
by his own greed and resentment? Exactly as we sift
and select suitable food or building materials, we have
to sift and select the thoughts and feelings that present
themselves to us. The laws that govern the psychic life
are the same as those which have already been seen
to govern other aspects of nature or technology. It
was neither man nor society as a whole that invented
morality: it is intrinsic to nature, to every aspect and
dimension of nature.'
