CHANGE THE WORLD BY CHANGING ME

THE SUFI BAYAZID SAYS ABOUT HIMSELF

I WAS A REVOLUTIONARY WHEN I WAS YOUNG
AND ALL MY PRAYERS TO GOD WAS:

“LORD, GIVE ME THE ENERGY
TO CHANGE THE WORLD”

AS I APPROACHED MIDDLE AGE, I REALIZED THAT HALF OF MY LIFE WAS GONE WITHOUT CHANGING A SINGLE SOUL.
I CHANGE MY PRAYER TO:

“LORD, GIVE ME THE GRACE TO CHANGE ALL THOSE WHO COME IN CONTACT WITH ME. JUST MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND I SHALL BE SATISFIED”.


NOW THAT I AM AN OLD MAN AND MY DAYS ARE NUMBERED, I HAVE BEGUN TO SEE HOW FOOLISH I HAVE BEEN
MY ONE PRAYER NOW IS:
“LORD, GIVE ME THE GRACE TO CHANGE MYSELF”
IF I HAD PRAYED THIS RIGHT FROM THE START, I SHOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MYSELF.

EVERYBODY THINKS OF CHANGING HUMANITY, HARDLY ANYONE THINKS OF CHANGING HIMSELF.
