There are two paths of development – external and internal. Today new records of outdoor development are being established. Man's scientific thinking has provided incredible speed to the pace of development. He is moving ahead in every race of development.
Today, external development has become so much that we immediately come to know about the events happening in any corner of the world, but we do not know anything about the events happening inside because no one focuses on it. One finds that light is spreading outside and deep darkness has spread its empire inside.
How can there be light without removing darkness? Where is happiness, peace and contentment without light? The human energy which should have been used to remove darkness is being used in useless activities. The energy which should have been used in the transformation of consciousness is being spent in external activities because today man is living only in the realm of the body. He has accepted everything only for the happiness of the world. All his vision is directed outwards.
He is considering this external race as the criterion of perfection. He is forgetting the truth that the happiness he is getting in external things can only be called happiness or lust. Man has to rise above the feeling of happiness and enter into the feeling of joy and satisfaction. Happiness is the nature of the soul and happiness and sorrow are the nature of the body.
Therefore one should hope to enter into personal bliss. Happiness can only be found by diving within yourself. The person who has found himself has found everything. The best thing to do is to step out of the mirage of worldly pleasures and delve deeper into yourself. In fact, it is better to know about yourself than to know about others.
