"WITHIN" - Srimat Swami Chidbhavanandaji Maharaj

When it rains, when storm sets in, when night comes, man keeps within. That act6 is a physical necessity for self-protection.

Being drawn within has several purposes. Birds and beasts keep to themselves in illness. Man withdraws within for repose. Repose is involuntary and retreat voluntary. To go within for spiritual illumination is the best and most profitable act that man can do. The knowing man is steady in the practice of it.

"He whose happiness is within, whose delight is within, whose illumination is within only, that yogi becomes Brahman and gain the Beatitude of Brahman" - Bhagavad Gita
