Which is the best way to live?

I really don't know how many people actually face this dilemma at some time in life. Which is the best way to live?

To find the quite within one self or to loose the self in the hustle, bustle and noise of the outside world?

As I go deeper into myself (where ever- the heart, mind, soul or conscience); the connect with the outside world gradually fades away....the humming sounds slow down and gradually they fade away. All the noise in my head is replaced with a powerful silence.....I feel this is the kind of silence which exists in the Deep Blue Universe. The Universe (outside the earth) must be a very quite place. Nothing to disturb the silence. No Trains & Buses, no phones or people...........eternal silence! The more I travel within myself; more I connect with an eternal silence of the Deep Blue Universe. Its a mystery. How can a Human mind, caged in a human body connect with the far away Universe? Yes, there is a bridge. A mystical bridge called meditation.
