You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
If we cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible.
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.
Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
Compassion: I don’t think that there is another world as important in marking a person’s inner growth. No other word completely conveys what this single word conveys.
