When we think something is going to bring us pleasure or misery, we really don’t know what is going to happen. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. We don’t know if it is the end of a story or the beginning of a great adventure.
We have many different names for the absolute, the ancients call it the Tao. We cannot know it directly because it has no definitions or references. The only way to fathom it is to remove our sense of division from it, plunge into the mystery itself, only then will we know peace.
To save the world, develop an awareness of the subtle truths, calm your mind, follow the ancient teachings, merge your virtue with the universal virtue and extend it to the world without expectations of reward. This way you will find peace.
Political structures change as do nations, but life and our life’s needs remain eternally the same. These needs cannot be changed no matter our disposition or education. The need for harmony can be achieved when a leader and people work together in cooperation with a unity of purpose.
Quote: To change the world first we must change ourselves to reflect that change. Gandhi
