There is nothing like ‘within’ or ‘without.’ Both mean either the same thing or nothing.

The Self is the one Reality that always exists, and it is by the light of the Self that all other things are seen.

Misery does not exist in reality but only in mere imagination.

Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. 'I am' is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.
