The
First and Last Freedom
To
transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in
beginning with ourselves is the intention. The intention must be to understand
ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves… This is our
responsibility, yours and mine, because however small may be the world we live
in, if we can bring about a radically different point of view in our daily
existence, then perhaps we shall affect the world at large.
J. Krishnamurti
