Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
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.
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.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
