Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 171"
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
The "world" is expanding on the Principle of Evolution. This expansion is
not just confined to its time and space but is also taking place at the level of
consciousness; which too has gradually traversed from being an amoeba to a
human being.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
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
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.
The whole world is a psychology and everything belonging to this world, living or
non-living also has its own psychology. No one can ever bring a thing out of the
sphere of its psychology.
