We must learn how to turn the eyes inwards. The eagerness of the eyes to see outwards should be restricted.
When you walk in a busy street, it is difficult to hear the man speak with whom you are walking, because of the noise of the passing carriages. He cannot hear you because there is so much noise. The mind is going outwards, and you cannot hear the man who is next to you.
In the same way, this world around us is making such a noise that it draws the mind outwards.
How can we see the Self?
This going outwards must be stopped. That is what is meant by turning the eyes inwards, and then alone the glory of the Lord within will be seen.
~ Swami Vivekananda
