"Man is seeking something all the time; whether he is seeking after money, or whether he is seeking after power, or he seeks after love; he is running after one or another seeking. But what is the thirst behind that seeking, he perhaps does not know. Behind this is only the seeking after Bliss. In his search after happiness he thinks that if he collects a lot of wealth he can be happy. But there are many countries that have attained and gained a lot of wealth and are extremely unhappy. Thousands are killing themselves. Behind all this seeking is the thirst for Joy which is dragging you towards this unknown . When man after seeking everywhere can find no happiness then he turns towards Dharma [moral and truthful way of life]. And even when he turns towards Dharma he is seeking outside. The reason for this is that what he himself is he has lost. He is ignorant and that is why man runs from himself. Each moment he is running from himself. He cannot sit with himself for even two minutes. If he is told to sit with himself for two minutes he says ‘O God what punishment is this for me’. What we call boredom nowadays. Why is man so fed up of himself? Why is man running away so fast from himself? Because he is ignorant about his own self. He is ignorant about his own beauty, his own knowledge, his own glory, his own love and is running outwards in the search of happiness. Joy is not outside. It is within. It is within you." ~ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
