The Importance of Solitude in Meditation

Sridharamakrishna says, monne, bonne, conne. In the forest, conne means in the corner. Monne is in your mind. And why not all three? If you go to chance to go to an ashram, a meditation center, or even a retreat for three days a week or more, take that opportunity also and have a place, a physical place for meditation in your house. That's the most important thing. The main objection there would be, unlike objects, unlike the bodies of others, the pains and pleasures,. especially the pains in this body, they'd make it mine.
