First find out what pleases you, what is your unique dream, with what you will be happy and then extend that to the world. Say to yourself: "I need a few comforts, a place to rest my head, a little nourishing food, congenial communication, sweet smiles, warm feelings". Then ask: "Do I share with the world what I have and what I need for myself?"
Do we want peace? Happiness? Freedom? Non-interference? Then what we want for ourselves, why do we not give to others? In this way, we can see ourselves flowing with the vast interrelationships of the universe. The realization will come that no one can say: "I am independent so I don't care for the world." No one is either dependent or independent, but all are interdependent in a spiritually evolving world.
