Transformation From Within…

In today’s world of competition and corruption, jealousy and hatred, transformation is what man needs the most. How are we to achieve it? This transformation should come from within and that too on a mass scale. Just as one tree does not make a forest or one house a village, so also one man’s transformation does not serve the purpose of society. According to Swami, for the transformation of humanity, first each individual has to transform himself, next there should be transformation in the family, then transformation in the community, thereafter transformation in the nation which finally leads to transformation in the world, writes Sri Parthish Dubey, then (1989) a XII standard student at Bhagawan’s school.

Significant Words…

The wonderful multicoloured panorama of God’s creation, with its varied faces, is astounding when one looks at it with an eye of love and compassion. Today, man often fails to look at the world with his natural vision, failing to catch the bigger picture, missing out its beauty owing to blurred, tainted vision.
