True Maturity Is the Maturity of the Mind and Spirit
For the whole society, the whole human race, the whole world, is it or is it not better that you have been here? If you have not been able to do this, then you havenot brought about anything of genuine value. What we call something of genuine value is the spirit of benefitting living beings. It is only when you have done things which genuinely benefit living beings that you have been able to bring about something of genuine value from the standpoint of the whole universe and all living beings (page 178)
~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.
