Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
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.
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 in no attachment.
The world will be balanced when we are balanced.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
