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.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
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.
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.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
