World
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
-Thomas Paine "Thomas Paine"
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.
-Chellis Glendinning "Chellis Glendinning"
It is not that the world has deteriorated today. You perceive the world as you are.
The world has been the same from the very beginning; neither has there been
a virtuous age (Dharma yuga) nor a sin age (Papi yuga). Here, everything has
always been dependent on an individual's perspective with which he looks at it.
-Deep Trivedi
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 171"
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.
-Ramana Maharshi "Sri Ramana Maharshi"
You and the world should stop thinking of changing each other. Just allow a third person to do the needful. You know who I mean: God, the only Doer.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
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.
-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"
The entire world may not change. But your tiny world you can and will change forever at this very moment with the help of your confidence-heart. Yours will be the unparalleled victory.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
