No matter who he is, every person values his life. His health is as crucial when his life is at stake. Individuals devote a lot of time to maintaining their health. You might discover that someone spent a good 25 years training to become an engineer to make a living. He has spent the better part of his life building his family. But how much time has he devoted to taking care of his inner self?

Everyone is occupied now managing and improving the external circumstances. But no matter how much you alter external circumstances, you can never really alter them. Nobody can. The world’s wealthy societies serve as a practical illustration of this.

Look at how well the outside has been restored, but how are the people? For instance, the outside is fairly fixed in the United States, but a sizable portion of the populace takes anti-depressants. They need to take medication every day just to stay sane! That isn’t healthy, either.

Those of you who are accomplished enough, at least in your material life, realise that it won’t work unless you act morally. Or do you still think you can act foolishly and say a prayer to make everything alright? No. You are aware that doing the correct things is necessary if you want to succeed in the outside world. Otherwise, it won’t function. What gives you the impression that the internal is false?

If you don’t act morally, it won’t work there as well. A full science and technology, the yogic science, exists to generate inner well-being so that you can take control of your own destiny, just as there is science and technology to produce external well-being.
