that </span><span style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>if the problems and
difficulties that face him have to be solved satisfactorily, there must be a
thorough overhauling of his outlook and nature; no mere tinkering with the
superficial signs and symptoms of an organic disease by means of pallia­tives
and expediencies and nostrums, but a major operation. Indeed, if he wishes to
be cured, he must transcend his present nature and be something else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

sincere will to change. At least he takes the wrong way about it. And the
reason is that he does not whole-heartedly adopt the course which he knows to
be the only right thing. He is divided in his being: one part knows indeed, but
another, the larger, the dynamic part does not profit by that knowledge,
ignores it and pursues a contrary path, the accustomed groove of ignorance and <i>laissez-faire.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

flattering unction to his soul by taking to a less exacting ideal, a substitute

changing its laws and constitution, and wants to believe that in that way
society can be remodelled and mankind transformed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>It should have been proved beyond doubt by
now that the fact is not so. The only way to cure the world outside is to cure
oneself first inside. The ancient proverb still holds good: the macrocosm is
only an enlargement of the <span class=GramE>microcosm,</span> the microcosm is
the macrocosm in miniature. The universe is a transcript, a projection on a
large scale of the individual nature within. What is there is here and what is

something that has got to be set right, instead of rushing out and trying to

style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>replica in one's own consciousness and
character of what one finds in the larger anonymous movements of nature and
society. Now it may be admitted that one has no control or almost none over
one's nature; the outside world is beyond our reach and we cannot order or
mould it as we like. But the smaller world which is ourselves is not too far or
too great for us; our own individual nature and character is ours and we have
been given sufficient freedom and power to reform, renew and remake it. That is
the secret, although it seems to be a very simple truth, almost a truism.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the little world within which is our own, how can we expect to correct or
change the vaster outer world? To leave oneself to be as one is and to try to
make others change is evidently an absurd and self-contradictory proposition.
On the other hand, if the first thing that one does is to correct oneself, then
one will find, much to one's surprise and satisfaction, that there is very
little to correct in the world, everything has been already corrected
automatically.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

he can successfully manage: the charge is accu­rately measured according to

</i>if one chooses to be so; but that is not man's inevitable destiny; he can
truly be the ruling king and ex­ercise, to the full, his authority. It is a
simple truth that man has a will and can wield it. This will he can consciously
develop, increase and enlarge, make it an extremely powerful, if not
invincible, instrument for action.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
