We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him.We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body.

To whom is it that these (two) things are owing? To Heaven and Earth. If Heaven and Earth cannot make such (spasmodic) acting last long, how much less can man!Abstaining from speech marks him who is obeying the spontaneity of his nature.
