Sant Dadudayal Ji asks his disciples to seek the Divine within:
O benevolent one! Enter in your inner self, and search. He [God] is very near to you. Abandon all your worldly desires and distractions. By inverting your immature consciousness current (which tends to get distracted by senses) get established, in the self [within)...
Sant Paltu Sahib says:
There is an upside down well within and there one finds the burning flame of life...
Gosvami Tulsidas Ji says:
While the world thought that the Sage Valmiki'' was reciting the name of Lord Ram backwards, he himself became like Brahman. Understand the power of Name. The great poet Valmiki became purified even by reciting Ram's name backward (by going inward).
The Inner Journey Involves Reversing the
Consciousness Current
In the 20th century the great Sage Maharishi Mehi compared the ascending of consciousness to a fish swimming upstream. The mind must go inward, which is the reverse of its usual and easy outward path. Just as the fish struggles against the current, so an equal effort must be made to go against the current of the mind. By going inward against the current of the mind, one experiences the divine joy.
