Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Can the world exist without one to cognise it? Which comes first the being-consciousness or the rising-consciousness? The former is always there and eternal; the latter rises and disappears. It is transient.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
