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.
The whole world is a psychology and everything belonging to this world, living or
non-living also has its own psychology. No one can ever bring a thing out of the
sphere of its psychology.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so 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.
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.
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.
