“BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THIS WORLD”
Mahatma Gandhi, long before most of us were born, you carried in your heart and soul this great vision about a loving, independant and non-violent humanity. The phrase that mirrors your whole wisdom is said here, and you let your life in order to give this statement the greatest possible impact. Mahatma Gandhi, you are SO right… Where has war brought us? Our material world? I don’t think humanity is ready yet to live in love and light, but know, Gandhi, that we are many who meditate on your words and your wisdom, and who integrate it and work for a non-violant tomorrow! At your time, no internet was available yet, but now, thanks to this www, we’re all connected, we can hear messages you’ve said 80 years ago, and thanks to the great evolution we’ve gone through, we can understand them, we can integrate them, and we can live after them. We today know, what you’ve known so long ago, Gandhi… we know that the only future for our world, is to be totally in respect with our environnement and to listen and act after our hearts. You invite us to step into our own responsibility as humans, to think about the future and think about the ones who come after us. THANK YOU, GANDHI, for your wonderful wisdom, love and light!… Thank you for having gone this path before us… and to continue to inspire us…
Gandhi: “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves. If you change yourself you will change your world. If you change how you think then you will change how you feel and what actions you take. And so the world around you will change. Not only because you are now viewing your environment through new lenses of thoughts and emotions but also because the change within can allow you to take action in ways you wouldn’t have – or maybe even have thought about – while stuck in your old thought patterns. And the problem with changing your outer world without changing yourself is that you will still be you when you reach that change you have strived for. You will still have your flaws, anger, negativity, self-sabotaging tendencies etc. intact.”
