Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 In solitude a man gathers strength to meet the difficulties and temptations of life. JUST as the body requires rest for the recuperation of its forces, so the spirit requires solitude for the renewal of its energies. Solitude is as indispensableto man’s spiritual welfare as sleep is to his bodily well-being; and pure thought, or meditation, which is evoked in solitude, is to the spirit what activityis to the body. As the body breaks down when deprived of the needful rest and sleep, so do the spirits of men break down when deprived of the necessarysilence and solitude. Man, as a spiritual being, cannot be maintained in strength, uprightness, and peace except he periodically withdraw himself fromthe outer world of perishable things, and reach inwardly towards the abiding and imperishable realities. He who loves Truth, who desires and seeks wisdom, will be much alone.
