Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
The world will be balanced when we are balanced.
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.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
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.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
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.
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.
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.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
