The inner molds the outer

    

We cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one of these is reformed everything will be improved.

Man is organic with the world. His inner life molds the environment and is itself also deeply affected by it. The one acts upon the other and every abiding change in the life of man is the result of these mutual reactions. ~ Shoghi Effendi

If an active, actual peace is brought about, the human world will attain to the utmost serenity and composure; wolves will be transformed into lambs … and terrors into divine splendors in less than the twinkling of an eye.  ~ ‘Abdu’l-Baha

If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible. ~ T. Harv Eker
