Eknath EaswaranWe can all avoid travel that is unnecessary we do not need to travel around the world when the source of all joy and all beauty is right within us.
About This Quote
When we travel, we take a step out of our comfort zone. However, we may not ever appreciate the beauty around us until we have spent the time to look beyond the immediate surroundings and recognize it for what it is. If you spend all your time just looking at the world from a comfortable distance, you may never realize that there is beauty everywhere.
