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 is no attachment.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Change your thoughts, and you change your 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.
