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.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
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.
Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
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.
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.
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.
