Changing the world


Why is the world imperfect, can’t I change the world?

What we see as imperfection in the world is in reality very perfect for the world. World’s perfection is in its imperfection. Hence, there is no need to change the world. Only we have to change. We have to change our thought process and go beyond the thinking process. Once we enter into that stillness or silence or become aware of that stillness and silence, then we understand that the world’s imperfection is indeed perfect. Because everything, every happening, every phenomenon is only an illusion. It is just only a thought and nothing else. The moment the thought is not there, nothing is there. The whole world just appears as an illusion of the thought projection.

Another beauty of this illusory world is its impermanence. Everything changes over a period of time. Everything gets transformed into something. ("Impermanence is the inevitability of the whole cosmos"). Hence when we try to understand this world with our mind we cannot understand it. Moreover we try to label everything and every happening in this world. We try to judge with our intellect. Once we get awakened or get into the awareness of the absolute then we stop labeling and judging. Then we just surrender to every happening and be with every happening. There will not be any anxiety behind any happening and there is no eager that something need to happen also. Because, when we enter into that changeless state of stillness and silence or become aware of that state, then we don’t want to change anything or happening.
