Change Yourself, Change the World
The Zen Secret to Mastering Yourself and Transforming Your Reality
Understanding Greed and the Mirror Principle of the Universe
What does greed mean? Greed means you are grasping outward, doesn’t it? What does grasping outward signify? It signifies that you have nothing inside, that you are empty inside, which makes you desire to grasp outward and desperately try to fill the emptiness within.
Why do you become drained when you are grasping? Because the action of grasping outward signifies that you are signaling to the universe — you have nothing. Therefore, you end up with nothing, truly nothing.
The universe is a mirror; you must understand this principle, as it is incredibly important. The response law of the universe is the mirror principle, but the key point is: it responds to your most fundamental state, not just your surface actions.
So, when you are grasping outward, you are showing the universe: I have nothing. Thus, the universe will give you nothing, making you poorer and poorer. The more you try to take advantage, the poorer you become.
When strong desires arise, greed appears, and the tendency of internal deficiency re-emerges. Because it is a seed, that seed will hint that you are still lacking inside, and this thought reappears. When it appears, your conceptual mind says: I am sick, I have nothing, I am disabled, I am very poor, I am terrible, I have nothing, I have no friends, and so on. What should I do?
Everything is because of you; this is true. Your energy frequency automatically attracts these people. But when you change, the people around you will change too! If they cannot change, they will be replaced; this is true. You can try it.
When you become positive, the people around you may be uplifted. If someone is too negative to be influenced, they will naturally distance themselves from you, and more positive people will replace them. This is not just a possibility; it is a certainty! You can try it.
Changing Yourself to Change the World
Therefore, the best approach is not to say: Go away, don’t come near me. Instead, you can do your things, and I will do mine. When you change yourself, your world changes too. This concept has been talked about for over a decade.
You don’t need to change the world; you only need to change yourself. When you change, the world completely changes! This is the law, and you can try it in your life; it works every time.
