Your World is Your Own Creation

The sublime world existing in your inner self is more real, important, vast and powerful than the world outside. No doubt the external circumstances and things affect us significantly; but more intense is the impact of our inner world. Other things, people or situations won't do that much good or bad to us as our own convictions, intrinsic faith and tendencies. The holy Bhagvad Gita preaches that human-self is the greatest friend as well as the mightiest enemy of itself. Indeed, no one can help you more than what you could to yourself by your virtues and good actions. Similarly, no one could harm you more than what your flaws, vices and evil tendencies would. The intrinsic nature of one self creates the inner world; the gross (external) world for one is only a reflection of this inner world. In the same circumstances, people experience the world differently as per their own attitude and expectations.
