Summary

This quote implies that the desire to bring about large-scale change in the world is commendable, but ultimately one's ability to directly influence external circumstances is limited. Instead, the focus should be on personal growth and transformation. By changing oneself, in terms of thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes, one can have an indirect impact on the world around them. It highlights the importance of introspection and self-improvement as a means to inspire and catalyze change on a larger scale.

My gods dwell in temples made with hands; and within the circle of actual experience is my creed made perfect and complete: too complete, it may be, for like many or all of those who have placed their heaven in this earth, I have found in it not merely the beauty of heaven, but the horror of hell also.
