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.
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.
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.
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.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
