Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 171"
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 will be balanced when we are balanced.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
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.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
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.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
