You change and the whole world changes

What we see outside is what is inside us. If we have confusion inside then whatever happens outside will also lead to confusion. If we have a silent mind with lot of clarity then whatever happens outside will also be clear. Even if there happens to be a lot of confusion outside if our mind is silent, then this very silence will make the outside things or person to be silent also. An incident happened in Amritapuri, where Mata Amritanandamayi's ashram exists. One day Mata Amritanandamayi who is otherwise called as Amma was inside her room. Because a mad dog had entered the ashram there was a lot of confusion and commotion in the ashram campus. People of the village were running behind the dog with sticks and rods to kill the dog and the poor dog for the fear of its life had come running and it happened to enter into the campus of Amma's ashram. The people inside the campus were also confused and hence commotion prevailed. On hearing all this noise Amma came out of the room to find out the reason for the commotion and she found that a group of people were driving a dog. She immediately asked them to stop and she started moving towards the dog. People around her were scared and warned Amma not to go near the dog since the dog was a mad dog and if it bites her then they will have to rush her to an hospital. But Amma wouldn't listen to anyone, she went and stood in front of the dog. The moment she stood in front of the dog, the dog stood there calmly and just kept looking at her. Amma went near the dog made the dog keep its face on her lap and she took the saliva of the dog and put it into her mouth . Then she asked the ashramites to bring some food and she feeded the dog with her own hands. The dog eat the food and after sometime it breathed its last on the laps of Amma.
In the above incident Amma proves that the dog was agitated and so were the people around it and vice versa. When Amma approached the dog with a completly silent mind, the agitated mind of the dog also became silent and both Amma and the dog were able to deal with each other with absolute silence and calmness. Such is the power we have got within ourselves that we can influence not only ourselves but also others, but it depends on were we are. Silence, confidence, positive attitude etc does well not only for ourselves but also for others, whereas agitated, anger, confusion etc not only destroys but also others. Hence you change and the whole world changes
