“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.”

~ Ramana Maharshi 

we don’t just practice meditation or ethics, steadying our mind or opening our heart, for ourselves. 

we practice for ourselves and for the benefit of the world and all life in it. 

open-hearted caring people, kind people, gentle people, thoughtful, mindful, compassionate, wise, resilient, balanced people make the world a better place to live.

so we work with ourselves, with our own mind, and our own heart to engage life and our world in a healthy way. then we and others see it is possible to live in this world with love, as love embodied, rather than fear, aggression, and hate.

we are authentically available and able to assist others in a healthy way, a way that is truly beneficial, a way that doesn’t repeat patterns of suffering, because we have begun to unravel the patterns of suffering within ourselves.
