The unchecked desires within our hearts have fractured our world. This longing—to conquer, exploit others, seek revenge, impose regime changes, plunder natural resources, and seize territories—arises from deep inner turmoil. To transform the world, we must first heal our hearts. Everything we see externally reflects the unseen realm within our hearts.
Just as actions arise from intentions, and intentions originate in the heart, every deed mirrors our innermost feelings. Imagine the heart as a garden: if nurtured with pure intentions, it will flourish with acts of kindness and unity. But if overrun by the weeds of selfish desires, it will produce actions that fracture and devastate. To heal the world, we must first tend to our hearts, for they are the hidden source of all that manifests in our reality.
Humanity’s boundless desires cannot be satisfied in a finite world; they require an infinite realm, which is the hereafter. As someone once said, nature provides for our needs, but not for our greed. The key to peace in this world is contentment. By embracing this principle, we can create a harmonious society. Living a life based on necessity is the true path to peace.
Keeping our minds anchored in this truth is the best way to manage our desires, shielding us from tension, despair, and the ravages of resource depletion and war. Just as a ship needs a steady anchor to avoid being swept away by turbulent seas, our hearts require the stability of contentment to withstand the storms of greed and ambition. When our desires are unchecked, they become like wildfires, consuming everything in their path and leaving devastation in their wake. By grounding ourselves in the reality of our true needs, we can prevent these destructive infernos, nurturing a world where harmony and peace can flourish.
