How does it harm a man if his consciousness is turned outwards?Extraversion, looking outwards, is the mother of all illusions. To a man caught in illusion, truth appears to be untruth, and falsehood appears to be truth. He experiences pleasure in the material world and for him only this world has any significance. He accepts sensual gratification as his goal. He is wholly engrossed by outer phenomena. And this condition lasts till his illusions are shattered.
There is only one way to shatter his illusions, and that is the undertaking of an internal trip. Through it the mind turns inwards, becomes quiet and is freed from conflict. Just as a tired man relaxes himself on reaching home, similarly a mind caught in confusion and error, having become integrated, gains clarity. As long as it is involved in misunderstandings, even the feeling of pleasure and peace which it experiences at times, is illusory. Only the light emanating from an inner journey can remove the thick gloom of the valley of illusion.
