Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Chapter 2 - Silence & Solitude D. Is a vow of silence useful ? Maharshi : The inner silence is self-surrender. And that is living without the sense of ego. D. Is solitude necessary for a sannyasin ? M. Solitude is in the mind of a man; one might be in the thick of the world and yet maintain perfect serenity of mind ; such a person is always in solitude. Another may stay 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 . A detached man is always in solitude.
