We look inwards to discover our own self; to find the meanings of our own happiness, to discover what we find fulfilling, and to know when we are at peace. The journey of "self-discovery" is a life-long journey that never disappoints; rather, it pleasantly surprises the traveler with ever new eurekas. The journey passes through trials, challenges, and disappointments, but always concludes in happy and fulfilling peacefulness. The spiritual way is so simple and straightforward that I now wonder why it took me so long and so much effort to find it. One reason is that we overlooks it, almost dismisses it, because it is so obvious. All the intricacies of the religion, all the complexities of the science, all the winding paths of being street smart, and all the impossible trials of ascetism - these teach us that the spiritual "way" cannot be so obvious, so simple, and so happily pleasant. The truth that this traveler discovered is that the spiritual "way" is indeed obvious, simple, and happily pleasant.The earlier attempts had not worked, not necessarily because they were false, but because they were external. Happiness, fulfilment, and peacefulness is an internal matter. For that we do not look primarily outwards; rather, we look primarily inwards.
