Ram Nath Kovind Quotes

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.

Even things which seem separate and finished are infinitely connected and will infinitely connect. This connection happens as soon as you let it, as soon as you engage - as soon as you even attempt to engage.

I am two with nature.

Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

The opponents and I are really one. My strength and skills only half of the equation. The other half is theirs. An opponent is someone whose strength joined to yours creates a certain result.

What's my philosophy? In a word, integral.

The wise see knowledge and action as one.

Everything's interconnected. That's the way life is.

Seeing everything means recognizing the ultimate fact that all things that exist are mutually connected into a single whole, even if the connections between them are not yet known to us.

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE.

You are a piece of creation. If you go against any other piece of creation, you are unknowingly going against yourself.

From out of all the many particulars comes oneness, and out of oneness come all the many particulars.

The problem comes up because we ask the question in the wrong way. We supposed that solids were one thing and space quite another, or just nothing whatever. Then it appeared that space was no mere nothing, because solids couldn't do without it. But the mistake in the beginning was to think of solids and space as two different things, instead of as two aspects of the same thing. The point is that they are different but inseparable, like the front end and the rear end of a cat. Cut them apart, and the cat dies.

So when we spend all of our time trying to separate that which is already joined, it's a waste of time.

You are the world and the world is you.

All things are in all.

The sage has the sun and moon by his side and the universe under his arm. He blends everything into a harmonious whole. . . . He blends the disparities of ten thousand years into one complete purity. All things are blended like this and mutually involve each other.

The roots of all living things are tied together. Deep in the ground of being, they tangle and embrace. This understanding is expressed in the term nonduality. If we look deeply, we find that we do not have a separate self-identity, a self that does not include sun and wind, earth and water, creatures and plants, and one another.

Unity can only be manifested by the Binary. Unity itself and the idea of Unity are already two.

There is no separation between mind and body... Self and other co-arise and fall away all the time.

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.

Nothing to do with anything, something to do with everything.
