Guiding Light: Why Inner Transformation Is The First Step Toward A Better World

It’s a known fact that every human being gets transformed physically, mentally, and spiritually, moment after moment and throughout his lifetime. The processes of physical growth, social and ecological environment, learning and education and the events in life are some of the factors that are constantly playing upon every human being and are bringing about transformation.

The greatest difficulty in this process is man’s own resistance, non-cooperation, lack of will or intention to change. But, in present times, when man doesn’t have constant happiness and one is not immune to ill-health and other sorrows and sufferings of the world and when the clouds of destruction are looming large in the form of nuclear weapons, there should not be any agitation in thoughtful persons to transform their lifestyles into a kind that does not bring sufferings to them. If once this process of transformation starts and a few people get transformed, then it automatically catches other people’s attention.

We must ask ourselves, is there anybody who does not like a smiling rose? None! Similarly, if there is a person who always wears a smile on his/her face and who always speaks words which are refreshing, energising and sweet as the nightingale’s melody, then who will be able to resist this temptation of being like this lovely fellow? Archimedes had said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.”

Similarly, Almighty Supreme says if you change individually, you will be able to change, through each one of you, at least a large part of the world. So, on your shoulder rests the responsibility of the transformation of the whole world. So, instead of worrying about time and the fate of the world, we have to trust that everything is happening for the greater good according to the divine plan.

Our last moment can come any time. What we have to focus on is to think, see, speak and do only good and positive actions in the remembrance of the Supreme in every moment. We have to believe in the innate goodness of all human beings and help them in their transformation by being a good example and through our good wishes and pure feelings. If we just do that, time will automatically change for good and usher in a new world.
