Summary

This quote emphasizes that true change in our lives comes from an inherent need to align with our moral judgment and inner values, rather than merely making a decision or setting a mental intention to adopt a new lifestyle. It suggests that change should be driven by a deep conviction to live in accordance with our conscience, rather than superficial motivations. It implies that lasting transformation arises when we are compelled to live authentically, guided by our moral compass, rather than merely attempting to adopt a different way of living out of mere obligation or convenience.

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
