Throughout their lives people desire small things, like a promotion, or more money, or a more fulfilling relationship. But all of these are very limited in that all these cannot give everlasting joy or contentment. People who spend their whole lives in achieving these desires are actually putting so much effort for very small gains in life. By being devoted to the scenery outside — with these goals and desires, one only reaps short-lived results.
But one who is devoted to the seer within receives eternal gains. Meditation is a process to shift your focus from the scenery back to the seer. You place your faith on the scenery because you get something from it. But whatever you gain is because of the devotion you have within, which is the devotion of the seer. When our senses, which are always focused outwards come to rest, we can go inward, and that is when we can experience the bliss that springs forth from going inward. The fruits of such devotion never diminish.
