To search within is the real search, the real journey and the real achievement.
Finding oneself is equivalent to what many call finding “God” – however you want to define that concept. I say concept cos no one has seem him/her, whats the use of speculation.
Because the journey starts with the realization that concept called God is within and I am omnipotent.
I dont say” By God” I say “By myself” cos i know I am the ONE. When I pray, I pray that I can use my life energy to achieve something I can be proud of, something which benefits my fellow beings – the condition here is not being selfless because in every activity, even if you just get a little joy out of it, it does not remain selfless... of course, the concept is to self-actualise, find the greatest powers within the self – so by nature the activity of doing good, praying, loving – is a selfish activity.

This is EGO in the real sense. Ego, if non-existent, leads a person to be lost (identity crisis).
When one does not know who he is, how does he expect to find that concept called God.
However, the problem of looking inward may also be spiritual myopia.
One looks too closely towards oneself, rather than seeing the Big picture and find the world within himself!

So I believe – find yourself, and you are enlightened. This is the road to where you - want / need / deserve / desire / are going - to go!
