Before you start any quest you have to prepare for the journey, even if that journey is inwards into the deepest recesses of your being, into your soul.
"having closed all doors of senses and firmly holding the mind in the cavitiy of heart & then fixing the life breath in the head & thus remaing steadfast in yogic concentration on god, he who leaves the body & departs uttering the one indestructible Brahma, OM & dwelling on me in my obsolute aspect, reaches the supreme goal."
Bhagavad Gita IV, meditation 12-1
"It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world -- that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you are not understanding it in the right light. throw the burden on yourselves!"
Swami Vivekananda
