Outer World v/s Inner World

We often hear that there is an outer world and inner world. But what it is really, let us try to know. I request that below given points are only pointers not to stuff our mind with knowledge, but actually realize what it is pointing to.


Sr.
Particulars
Outer World
Inner World
1
What is it called?
Experience
Spiritual experience and beyond it.
2
Where it is obtained
An External Source
From our own Self(Soul)
3
Medium of   obtaining
Physical body, five
sense organs, the mind and intellect.
Our Self(Soul)
4
Dependent on
Place
Yes
No (absolutely
independent)
5
Dependent on
Time
Yes. There is a starting and ending to everything.
Not Applicable. It does not mean endless time but time factor parameter is not applicable here.
6
Dependent on

No (absolutely
independent)
7

a) Peace
b) Bliss
C) Love
D) Beyond all above
8

No

10
Site of the chakra
Upto the Adnyachakra
Beyond the Adnyachakra
11
Where it is?
In Objects which we know via our sense organs and mind.
It is easy to understand but a bit difficult to actually grasp. When we close our eyes we see empty space or inner sky (when we open our eyes we see outer sky). It may appear stupid initially to see this inner space which is nothing, but all the before life, present life, after life and beyond life mysteries are in this space only.
12
Energy
Gross
Subtle
13
How to explore it?
Through Mind. Whatever we experience is because of mind only. A person in coma may not experience the outer world.
Dropping our mind or going beyond mind or being Self or Awareness of Self.

Refer
The 1st 3 States:
  • Physical Body State
  • Etheric Body State
  • Mental Body State 
The last 4 States starting from:
  • Psychic Body State
  • Astral Body(“Atma”) State
  • Cosmic Body(“Brahma/Paramatma”) State
  • Void 

Wisdom Pointer: Existence includes the inner world, outer world and beyond both of it. If we know(not knowledge of) our inner world, the outer world will be beautiful and blissful. In short we will have an balanced and integrated life.
