Change the world by changing ‘Me’

The Sufi Bayazid says this about himself: “I was a revolutionary when I was young and all my prayer to God was: ‘Lord give me the energy to change the world.’”

“As I approached middle age and realized that half my life was gone without my changing a single soul, I changed my prayer to: ‘Lord, give me the grace to change all those who come in contact with me. Just my family and friends, and I shall be content.’”

“Now that I am an old man and my days are numbered, my one prayer is, ‘Lord, give me the grace to change myself.’

If I had prayed for this right from the start I should not have wasted my life.’”

‘BE AND MAKE’ , LET THIS BE OUR MOTTO” SAID SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
