Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Devotee: Is a vow of silence useful? Bhagavan: The inner silence is self-surrender. And that means living without the sense of ego. D: Is solitude necessary for a sunnyasin? B: Solitude is in the mind of a man. One man may be in the thick of the world and yet maintain perfect serenity of mind. Such a person is always in solitude. Another may live in the forest but still be unable to control his mind. He cannot be said to be in solitude. Solitude is an attitude of the mind. A man attached to the things of life cannot get solitude, wherever he may be, whereas a detached man is always in solitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
