Today I read a message from Richard Rohr that inspired me to ponder the roles of prophets, priests, and politicians in shaping our worldviews.

TL;DR: “The only way evil can succeed is to disguise itself as good. And one of the best disguises for evil is religion.” No humans have all the answers to the questions we seek. Let’s lift each other up so we can all reach our full potential as spiritual beings.

The quote on the image below appears on page 46 of the book "Ramana Maharshi: Teachings of Self-Realization" by Robert Wolfe. It begins with, "For those who ask, 'What is to be done about the conditions in the world?', Ramana replies: 'First set yourself right, and then only set out to improve "others."'

In other words, only when you let go of your small self and accept the "capital S" Self can you hope to help "others" see that there are no others.
