~Ramana Maharshi

This may suggest that what is being propounded is to avoid the world and i’;s issues, a criticism often made of a living a life of a recluse in the middle of a forest or on top of a mountain.
The world travels with you, irrespective of the location. What Ramana is suggesting is that since the world along with all it’s beauty and all it’s warts….is a projection of you……..deal with the source.
Rather than cleaning the screen, look for motes of dust on the glass of the torchlight throwing a beam of light on the screen.
