Ramana Maharshi
This was a very insightful read. The wisdom behind the words were very intriguing. The section that reads, "If the mind is happy, not only the body but the whole world will be happy..." was the best section i have read so far in this book because it reflects on something that i live my life by. The sense that if you are happy, you will reflect that happiness to people around you, in turn, making the world you live in a happier place. The passage continues on to say that, in summation, you can't change the world unless you know who you are. Relating to the last part, you can't make the world happy, if you yourself are not.

I totally agree about the section about being happy. I dont think that you can make anyone else around you happy with out starting with yourself. I just loved this part and am glad you got the same things out of it as i did.
