On Healing the World

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?

Accept the world as it is.
If you accept the world,
the Tao will be luminous inside you
and you will return to your Self.

Do you want to improve the world?
I don't think it can be done.

The world is sacred.
It can't be improved.
If you temper with it, you'll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it.
(Tao Te Ching)

Can we really say who heals whom? Who exactly is "bad" and who is "good"? The only thing that matters is that there is a loving interaction of two friends. Wherever there is love there is natural healing. The bible says, "wherever two or more are gathered in My name, there I will be." It is the mind set that matters as you approach a person or a situation. Meet someone with an open mind and a loving heart and a miracle is bound to happen. Approach someone with an attitude of superiority and the environment will be tainted. A Tao traveler is down to earth not because he is special in any way, and not because he is a saint, but because he has seen the truth of the Way: On planet earth there is no up and down, no here and there, no me and you. Along the Way there is only another priceless opportunity to receive love, healing and a glimpse of our Self.
