Mm mm... it is complicated! Firstly, it is as if to come to this place where you are sitting, you start moving away from this spot. Yes, one day you will come back if you go on moving away, away, away -- the earth is round, one day you will come back to this place -- but this is an unnecessary journey. To come to the internal by going to the external, yes, one day you will come. Mathematically it is not wrong -- you will come -- because all energies move in a circle. If you go to the very furthest end of externality, there will be a turn of the energy and you will start coming back -- but why? For that which was so easily available, why go that far?
I have heard about a man who was driving fast, somewhere near New Delhi. He asked a villager -- because he was feeling a little lost -- 'If I go in this direction will I ever reach Delhi?' The villager said, 'You will reach but you will have to go around the whole earth because you have left Delhi behind by eight miles! But if you turn back, Delhi is very close by.' Logically it is right -- I will not say it is wrong. If you really go it will take many lives; this life won't be enough, this life is very short. You cannot go to the very end of the external -- it is an infinity; to exhaust it will be almost impossible. But if you exhaust it, then there is a turn. Space is curved: if you go on, go on, go on, then one day you start coming home. Everything moves in a circle so you are bound to come home, but I don't see that there is any need in the first place. If you are enjoying it, it is perfectly good -- go that way, mm? I never want to distract anybody from anything. I don't even distract a person who is going to commit a sin, because if he goes into it he will become a saint. Where can he go in the sin? One day he will start moving towards sainthood. In fact the best way to become a great saint is to become a great sinner. This is doing something, which could have been done very easily, in the hard way, but there are people who like the hard way. . .then it is perfectly good.
The second thing: when you start thinking of the whole world, you are avoiding something about
