a verse from the upanishads i liked
Isha Upanishads 9-11
In dark night live those for whom
The world without alone is real; in night
Darker still, for whom the world within
Alone is real. The first leads to a life
Of action, the second to a life of meditation.
But those who combine action with meditation
Cross the sea of death through action
And enter into immortality
Through the practice of meditation.
So have we heard from the wise.
For me how I read this is that viewing the world from a material stand point that, that is all there is, is not good but what is darker still is viewing that all that there is, is created from the individual, in the belief that you are the only one that is real. In essence the internal and external are of importance, the ego self is the illusion and the Self is all that is.
