Your response to the following posting which had said: - There is an interesting quote from Swami Vivekananda that goes something like:- What you call 'external universe' and what some call 'internal universe' are really dealing with the same. Where is the demarcation line? --------- The exact words from Raja Yoga by Swami Vivekananda goes as follows:- " In nature you will not find any such division as internal or external. These are fictitious limitations that never existed. The externalists and the internalists are destined to meet at the same point, when both reach the limits of their knowledge " .
