If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
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 will be balanced when we are balanced.
When there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
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.
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.
