World
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
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"
The "world" is expanding on the Principle of Evolution. This expansion is
not just confined to its time and space but is also taking place at the level of
consciousness; which too has gradually traversed from being an amoeba to a
human being.
-Deep Trivedi
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
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"

-Chellis Glendinning "Chellis Glendinning"
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"
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
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
