A man came to me with sadness dancing in his eyes. When I asked him about its reason, he said, "I am sad because there is no peace in my mind.Since there is absence of peace, there is no happiness either." I looked towards him and said, "Peace and happiness lie within you, then why are you carrying the burden of sorrow?"
He listened to me and was surprised. He said, "If indeed there were peace and happiness within me, why would I bear the burden of sorrows?"
I said, "I feel that you are not really sad, actually your ignorance is the cause of your misery. The reason for your internal turmoil is that you are not still introduced to your “self”. How long can a man show beauty by wearing others clothes, how long can a man experience peace depending upon the external means?
Search within yourself, and delve deep with eagerness, fasten the sensation and go into the depths of your heart. Deep, deep and deep, go deep into yourself, remove all the four boulders and reach beyond them.”
‘Obscuration of knowledge’- this is the first boulder.
‘Obscuration of intution’ is the second boulder.
‘Obscuration of happy consciousness’ is the third boulder and
‘Obscuration of ‘power’ or ‘strength’ is the fourth boulder.
When he removed all the boulders through meditation and delved within, he could realise the unfathomable ocean of peace waving within the self.
No person has monopoly on peace. No person has monopoly on pleasure. These are universal traits and available to all those who has consciousness. This is available to all those who have successfully ventured
within themselves.
