World
-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
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"
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"
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.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Dayananda Saraswati"
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"
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
-Thomas Paine "Thomas Paine"
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
