\n“Master I am so proud and grateful that you have taught me CLARITY, how I can change the world!”<\/p>\n
“That is good,” the master rejoiced and spoke, “Let this gratitude grow until deep contentment arises, then it will be easy for you to let go of pride.”<\/p>\n

“Because then I can finally bring you closer to the WISDOM of changing yourself.
\nIf you change yourself your world will change, according to the old law as within so without.” the master explained smiling and loving.<\/p>\n
“But I also want so much to make the world more beautiful for everyone else!” the student replied.<\/p>\n
