The world is very large and every individual carries a tiny and exact copy of the world around. It is nothing but our own inner state of mind. This world of human being, though its origin is divine has faced degradation in the value system. So the world cries from the grip of negativity. Hence the world is in need of a spiritual treatment. The time needs liberation from the bondage of the grip of negativity and declining values. Spiritual therapy would be the best solution in this regard. I (as an individual with a copy of the world around) must develop adherence to some values in my own life that would lead me to develop lasting values.
Every human being is created in the image and likeness of God. Human persons bear divine qualities of love, peace, truth, joy, etc. So as a human being my original identity comes from God. They are medicines for healing the sick world. From my experience, if I say, the presence of God enables us to develop these qualities of the soul. Keeping companionship and friendship with God, my original qualities of love, peace and joy will be multiplied. I believe that it is possible to bring about transformation in the world by allowing ourselves to become channels of God’s power in this way (of leading a value based life). I am sure the things such as an intolerant opposition, a confused situation, a moment of rejection, etc. can be handled harmoniously with the spiritual power. Such power brings about changes within and around the world. It leads me to a state of liberation. Here I overcame the weakness of being a negative person.
You might have heard that “the power of prayer enables one to work miracles”. Yes the power of love and peace, the power of truth and joy, which are already within us, would be multiplied in the Divine presence. It can be used to transform the world. I can raise the sick world to an experience of healing. Each individual has this healing power hidden in him / her. We have to explore this power by the weapon of divine thoughts. The beautiful designs of a flower, the innocent smile of a body, the splendour of rising sun and the patting of the cold breeze.... will they not take us to such divine moments? Yes, let us treat and transform our own world around, by this spiritual therapy of developing values in our life.
